Just a gripe

Ok, so I know there are better things to worry about. For instance:

1) The economy and all that encompasses. You know, gas prices, food prices, mortgages, etc. If I knew how to read the financial section, I would have more to say I am sure! Seriously, that old saying the price of eggs in China...well, we really do worry about that now right?

2) The election. Need I say more?

3) A husband's annoying habits. Come on ladies...you know what I am talking about! Gotta love 'em but gee whiz...put the proverbial seat down already guys!

And this gripe has nothing to do with what my husband calls my quirk - that is my aversion to medicine, doctors, the whole she-bang, which really borders on paranoia and/or hypochondria. Ok, so HE says! (well, it might be a little true!)

Anyway, my gripe today is this - nothing fits. That's it. I know trivial and a bit self obsessed but darn it, I just want to wear a pair of jeans people. And NOT the maternity kind.

Ok, off I am to go eat something. Probably in the chocolate family. Someone save me from myself!!!!

I will save you from yourself after I finish eating yet another piece of candy from Emma's trick or treat bag LOL!

Yeah, 2 years later and still nothing fits quite the same as it did before I had Emma.

Good luck finding stuff that fits :) Oh yes, I could go on and on about annoying hubby habits but Chad would whip right back around and give a list of my habits hee-hee!

Oh Mindy! I can very much relate to all of your comments. As to your gripe of the day, I REALLY know. I only just recently got back into my non-maternity jeans. Plus, breastfeeding makes me so stinkin' hungry that I have a hard time losing the pregnancy pounds while doing so (and with Phoebe I put on a lot of weight!!!!) Even if I make it down to my pre-pregnancy weight, I know that my body will NEVER be the same. I recently packed up some pre-children clothes and gave them to charity because I know that no matter how hard I try, I'm never going to be able to get into them again.
Thinking about all of this makes me want some chocolate, too. Wish we could eat some chocolate together and have a good chat (and while we do so, our children miraculously decide to sleep all at the same time and let us have an uninterrupted conversation...perhaps I should give this dream away like I did my small pre-children clothes because I don't think an uninterrupted conversation is in my future for a very long time. But still, we are allowed to dream, aren't we?!?)

It has been two YEARS since Gavin was born and I have YET to still fit into those pre-pregnancy clothes, LOL. It is MY fault though, I can't quit eating the chocolate either. AHH!!

What? Just give it up and fall madly in love with your maternity jeans! (shhh.... don't tell anyone... I still wear mine! I even bought maternity jeans in a smaller size! BADDDD I know.)
