Are mothers destined to become dowdy at an early age?

Nah, my mom still looks like Barbie at her age. She had me at 24.

However, I've noticed a trend lately. When a few of my friends have little people (children) they suddenly lose their perky, buoyant bounce, that devil-may-care coolness that made them really fun.

The friend who wouldn't be caught dead w/o her MAC pressed-powder compact is now fortunate if she has a chance to whisk a tube of Chapstick across her lips. Weekly appointments at the hairdresser for a wash and set, have been replaced with a cat-in-the-hat looking chapeau because she hasn't thrown a comb into her hair for days on end.  When one of them told me she can barely catch a moment to take a shower, I protested.

"I don't think that's such a good idea." :)
