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?

I took the boys to visit Daddy at work today, and when I got home, the water was shut off. I know I paid the bill, so I called the neighbors and their water was off too. I panicked and called James at work to make sure that he had water there. His water was on, thank goodness, now we have a bathroom plan.

James brought us dinner, and extra cookies for me. He must have known how stressed out I was. We called the after hours line and a water main has busted a few blocks away. It has been about 4 hours and still no water. I hope that they get the problem fixed this evening. I guess the laundry will have to wait until tomorrow.

This has been one of those weekends where I have not been able to get anything done. The laundry is piling up, the kitties keep making messes in the utility room that I have to constantly clean, and the in laws have been by twice this weekend. Thade and Dylan have been extra demanding too. I’m so stressed out right now. I hope that tomorrow will go a little better.

Gas is so high here $3.29, and it is going up again this evening. I’m feeling a little trapped by these rising gas prices. I’m a stay at home mom, and now I’m really a stay at home mom. My few trips out are going to get cut even more to try and save a little.

I shop out of town at Walgreen’s and Aldi to save, but a 40 mile round trip is now going to cost me about $7.00. That eats up my savings. What to do. My shopping choices are pretty limited here, but we are getting a Walgreen’s in the future so that will help. I still plan on shopping at Aldi too so that will cost me in gas. I guess the best thing that I can do is organize my shopping trip, and plan ahead.

Does anyone have any good plans for saving during the gas price increase? Please feel free to leave your suggestions and comments.
