Apparently, I seem to like to come up with new things to worry about. As if there isn't enough--I have found a new one!
Now that I'm home all day I have yet to decide how much I want to get ready. Silly, right? But do I still think about it? Yes!
I don't want to be this frumpy house wife. I don't want my husband to come home and be grossed out (not that he'd ever say anything). However, I have a really hard time wanting to get ready! It kinda seems pointless when I'm not going anywhere and only a 7 week old sees me.
I'm trying to find a happy medium. But, I always worry that I will 'let myself go'. I want to always be attractive to my husband and feel good about myself, which I feel comes from taking care of yourself. But, I want to not waste my time either :) I'm surprised at how I went from corporate wear to enjoying being in my sweats. I'm a little disgusted at myself at just how much I adore my yoga pants. And I will not allow myself to admit just how many days in a row I wore them.
One of the things I find myself doing just about every day is a bun. I have naturally wavy hair, so I can't just leave it down and I don't want to go to the trouble to curl or straighten it. I found this clip (go to the 4 minute mark) from King of Queens about buns and thought it was funny. Hopefully Claudy doesn't feel the same!
Claudy assures me that I look good without makeup and not getting ready and that he does not care. He says to not stress myself and to do what I want. I guess I just have to determine what I want--which can always be a little difficult :)

I had this struggle when I was pregnant cause I wore scrubs to work every day. It's like living in pajamas. So I made myself put on jeans every day, no matter what, for at least a little while. Sort of like a "how chubby am I now" measurement. So I do that now, if I put on jeans during the day then I'm doing fine. =) And 7 weeks postpartum is still totally appropriate time frame for yoga pants! My hair still only gets washed every 2-3 days. Sadly, that's a habit carried over from pre-baby days.
I'm right there with you and Brycen is 21 months old! It started after we moved a few months ago though. We don't really know anybody and I never leave the house. But my happy medium is putting makeup on, even if my hair is just pulled back. And it makes me feel much better!
