I think this is a common theme, the sweatpants. When you think of a stay-at-home mom, you think of sweatpants. It's just the territory! Also, because about every 2 hours you have some small child puking on you. So why bother with the pretty clothes?? Why bother putting on jeans or dress pants?? I feel like I can say that when Jacob goes to school, I'll be wearing real pants by then. But, if I'm not willing to wear them now, will I be willing to wear them then??
So what do I do? I really don't want to make some sort of commitment where I'll actually get out of my sweats for a week. But I feel so much better when I look presentable. Maybe I need to buy a pair of jeans for every day of the week, so I don't care if they get thrown up on. Right now, I am in sweats and a t-shirt that now have crusted on throw-up. Who wants to come over and hang out with me?!?!?!
My favorite comment when I lament about these things is that when he's older it will be different. But if I don't change the habits now, will I ever change them later??
So, be honest, are you reading this in your sweats??
I'm reading this in jeans and a t-shirt (with crusty baby puke!). The jeans made it on today because I had people working in the house!
ReplyDeleteyes it is 4:30pm and i am still in my pj's and have not showered:) lovely. the other problem is the fact that normal clothes still do not fit yet the maternity clothes are too big!!! you are not alone and i wish we lived closer so that we could hang out together in our pukey outfits!
ReplyDeleteYes. Definitely yes. Well, actually, my husband's shorts, but comfy bottoms for sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd I say stay in them, Lizzie! When he's older you'll HAVE to be in other clothes... enjoy the sweatpants while you can :-).
I love you guys!!!! Heehee... Today I got into jeans because I went out... but tomorrow, sweats!! Hahaha...
ReplyDeleteYep sweats and a hand-me-down Relay for Life t-shirt...yesterday I led bible study at church so there were dress pants and a nice shirt...I did jeans twice earlier in the week- once for a Walmart run and once for a grocery store run...during both of which Shane screamed his head off and people gave me lots of dirty looks-what the heck?! I had his pacifier in- what do you people want me to do?
