renewing toes

The title of this blog should be renewing ties, yet I miss-typed ties for toes- thanks to my daughter's penchant of kicking the keyboard rest; which reminds me, motherhood changes lots of things.

I used to have a weekly manicure and pedicure when I was single, then, it became an every- other- week- ritual when I got married, then I became content doing it myself-once a month-now, with two kids- all went kaput ( except for cleaning it daily with a used toothbrush during showers).

I re-examined my battle-weary toes, yup, they're crooked, homely clean but lacking the verve and color it deserves- in short, boringly drab. Now what to do? I should get a foot spa and add some color to it, question is, when? Good question... I wear my baby, and she can't stand waiting for hours without jumping around and messing about( she's teething, and LOVES to gnaw on things) her dad loves the idea about the foot spa thing, but our problem is the schedule- he comes home only during his days off ( he's working in Manila- two and a half to three hours drive from our place) I often set the idea aside whenever he's home( irregardless of countless prodding) since I prefer to bond with them at home.

So again, when? Ask for a home service ?- nah, too expensive...
I'll settle for the used toothbrush and my pedicure set instead
- homely clean, mommy toes :)
