Attached Mamas Working Outside the HomeDo you face the unique challenges of balancing your career with your children? Come on in and talk with other moms who find ways to make their situation work for the whole family.
wake up and "prep" yourself the usual way, just like on weekdays?
Less? More?
Lately I find the urge to "pretty up" on the weekends, since I have time and all, and whom should I be pretty for if not for my husband first of all ...
I also find that I have more drive in general if I am satisfied with the way I look.
Your thoughts?

Nope. No way lol
On Saturdays I get up and drink coffee and start laundry in my jammies. Lucky if I run a brush through my hair lol. Then I brush my teeth and throw on some shorts and a tank top (no makeup) and run to the grocery store. In 114 degree heat I'd just sweat anyway. Come home, unload groceries and spend about 4 hours cleaning my house before hitting the pool with the kids. No reason to "pretty up".
On Sundays I play raquetball at 7:30am before it gets too hot so no prettying up there - get my workout gear on, drink some coffee and hit it.
When I get back I shower, and then I do pretty up , but thats because we go to the 9:30 service at church
When I get home it all comes off because we go swimming after we eat lunch lol
So I'd have to say I look alot more put together during the week. But even so, as soon as I hit the door after work I change and we swim. Its really hot here. Did I mention that?

Well, that is a motivating statement to me! No, I do the opposite and I shouldn't. I should give him as much as I give my clients (says the woman who is at the computer while cooking breakfast wearing non-sexy jammies with slept in hair and face).
I've really let it all go since it has gotten hot here. Hair up all weekend. Too hot to stand and blow-dry for 30 minutes. Also, I'm just too hot to have my hair on my shoulders all day. Okay, I'm just lazy, I admit it!

Unless I am going SOMEWHERE (I do not mean
the farmer's market or running errands), I do not
wear any makeup on the weekend.
Hair- my hair is a curly mess and I do not do anything with
it on a workday!
Heels- no!
I am usually really busy on the weekends with errands, cleaning,
or going to the beach.
I am not unhappy with how I look on the weekends it is just different
than during the week when I have to dress in business type attire.
On the weekends, I sleep late. When I do get up, I put on a pair of baggy shorts and a t-shirt and put my hair up in a pony tail. IF I do go out, if it is just to run up to the grocery store or convienent store, I will put decent clothes on.... if I am going out shopping or to dinner or something like that, then I will put on the proper clothes, do my hair, etc.....
I would rather spend the weekend in my comfy shorts and t-shirt... I don't have to worry about anyone so why not be comfy.
M-F I am working in an office in heels and dress slacks/ etc.
Sat am I sleep in until 9 am (YAY!!!!!! 3 hour sleep in is GREAT!) get up, throw on jeans and a t shirt. I do do my hair (curly hair sucks messy) and I usually throw on a bit of make up (eyeliner, blush and shadow) just cus that is 'me'. If it is really hot I don't do the make up.
I find for me I can't get 'motivated' and 'going' until I throw on that make up. I am too sleepy, slow, slackin' off. Once I put on the make up I am in 'work' mode. Which is important cuz Saturday is chores, top to bottom house cleaning, yard work, grocery shopping, errands, running kids around etc.
I swear Sat is more of a day of work than M-F!
