I try not to give unsolicited advice to people (unless youre one of my kids in which case youll probably receive it every day of your life and twice on Sunday). I will make an exception today since I think theres a public service here... We all win when we help each other, right? If youre a busy working mom trying to be as professional as possible in the midst of wandering thoughts about diaper rash, forgotten spoons for the preschoolers yogurts, what have you, and probably some stains on your clothes whose sources are unknown, all of this along with reports that are due, 3D models that need to be followed up on, customers that need to confirm your next meeting, (deep breath - exhale - whew)... let me suggest a few tips I have picked up the past 4 years... 1. For that space of time between your childs birth and the point in which you begin to feel an acceptable amount of guilt for taking time to work out again, there is a wonderful thing called Spanx. They really are awesome at making you feel like a fraud, yes, but a hotter one... Or at least a less lumpy one. This tip has 2 parts -- the other one is that I do not recommend the one piece body suit one unless you dont mind stripping down to nothing every time you need to use the restroom. Sometimes if you take this long, people will assume you dropped some kids off at the pool, and really you dont want your customers thinking about you gripping your knees in the bathroom stall. SO. If you opt for this piece anyway since it really does its job well, just dont make the mistake of trying to use the flap in the crotch. It just doesnt work effectively... Do yourself a favor and take my word on this. 2. When youre in a hurry (which is always), and you have no choice but to wear open-toed shoes because your feet still dont fit back into your pre-pregnancy shoes, and youre still in denial and refuse to buy new, larger ones, and your toes are gnarly because lets face it theyre not getting any attention, just grab some speed dry nail polish and paint the toes you can see. I have walked around with 3 toes painted on each foot for months maybe years (4 1/2 to be exact). No one knows but me (and now you). 3) Finally, and this is another foot tip, when youve painted those eagle claws that are visible, grab your nail clippers on the way out the door. When you get where youre going immediately excuse yourself to the restroom and clip those mofos in the stall at the far end. For any other ideas for fitting many more hundreds of things in your days that you actually dont have time for, well, dont ask me because I probably wont know either. But for now maybe these 3 tips will come in handy for you.
