Mom Jeans

A few weeks ago we went to the mall. Naturally I started out at Macy’s, the birth place of my first credit card and where I discovered Clinique. While browsing I noticed my sweet plums pants looked a little tight… as were mine (Note to self: Plum needs new jeans, the old ones are giving her a cute muffin top and while you’re at it why don’t you take a look, your muffin top isn’t so cute). So there I was in the jean section at Macy’s, the one department that tends to give me a little anxiety and a lot of attitude. I always feel a little odd driving my stroller in the young adult section where the cute jeans are so I decided to look around the perimeter. At last, as I was strolling I noticed a cute pair of jeans. While looking for my size I read the tag: “Not your daughters Jeans”. At first I thought, well yeah, Plum’s jeans are even tight on her… and then it hit me, THESE ARE MOM JEANS! Could it be? Was I shopping in the mom section? What’s next an appliqué vest? Why don’t I just get these jeans, an 18 hour bra, a pair of sensible shoes and call it a day! I threw the jeans down as if they would stain my hands. How did it come to this? I’m only on baby two and I just came seconds away from not only trying on, but owning a pair of mom jeans. My mind raced as I thought of the ways I have become momier. I did write a letter to Gymboree for not having their isles stroller accessible, after all they are a kid’s store. I also told them I wouldn’t buy their clothes unless they were on sale on account that they are always overpriced. What was happening to me? Something had to be done. On the way home I was quiet and that doesn’t happen much so Corbet asked what was wrong. I told him that I almost bought a pair of mom jeans. He laughed and said “What are mom Jeans?” When we got home I showed him this.

 Note to reader: If you wear (Not your daughters Jeans) good for you, they are cute and infact don't look like mom jeans.  It was just the name that really threw me for a loop. 

Gratitude
• People actually read my bog… THANKS!

• I am grateful for Memorial Day not just the day off, but for the reason behind it.

• That my husband bought a HUGE flag to hang outside the duplo… not that our neighbors could think we are any odder. There were smaller ones that would have made a better fit, but what can I say, I married a patriot!

• The kids slept until 8 today!
