A closet full of nothing that fits

Years ago before I had my 2 boys I remember staring at my closet full of clothing, and saying to myself I have nothing to wear. Now my body is completely different, and I have an entire closet full of nothing that fits. I have pre-pregnancy clothes, pregnancy clothes, and post pregnancy clothes. One is too tight, one too big, and nothing I own seems to fit on my bottom half.

I haven’t lost my baby weight from the first pregnancy, and I don’t expect to lost much weight from the second one either, but I just can’t justify going out and buying an entire new wardrobe. My butt is too big, and I’m still nursing so none of my old tops are fitting. Grrrr it is so frustrating.

I’m also at a crossroads with my wardrobe. I’m 27 and the clothes that I am in are either too young or way too old for me. I stay at home too so I don’t need the corporate wardrobe, but I would like to look at least presentable. Where are Stacy and Clinton from What Not To Wear when I need them?

Today’s To Do List

I think it is supposed to rain everyday this week, so I’m planning my shopping around the weather. Today is usually shopping for groceries day, but I think I’m going to go tomorrow. Here is what I have planned for today:

*Put away 4 loads of laundry
*Wash and put away clean dished
*Make shopping lists w/ coupons for Wal-Mart and Walgreens
*Clean the litter box (yuck)
*Empty upstairs wastebaskets
*Take out the trash
*Homemaker’s Journal cleaning: Foyer

I’m so sleepy today, must be the weather. It is so cloudy. Better go and grab a cup of coffee so I’ll have a little energy today.
