SO I’m a stay at home mom. Which I love of course. I feel I’m lucky that I have the choice to do that because so many don’t. But that said, when you’re a SAHM (stay at home mom), certain things are usually sacrificed. When there’s only one income, mom’s are the ones that get looked over with things like nice clothes and stuff like that. All the ‘extra’ money (if there is such a thing lol) gets spent on new shoes or clothes for the kids. The last time I bought new clothes for myself was just after christmas this year when I got a $20 gift certificate for walmart for christmas from my inlaws. …yeah… I bought a needed new pair of jeans. And I splurged for the $18 pair too. So that was nice. (sarcasm) Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for those jeans, but really. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to leave the house because I have nothing to wear. All my clothes come from my BFF in California who sends me all her old stuff. Not that I go anywhere anyway…not the point. I should be able to have nice things too. And one day I’m sure I will :)
The last time I felt ‘nice’ was on march 9th when I went to see my boys NKOTB at the BOK in Tulsa. That was an amazing night and I felt good and I LOOKED good! (Even got checked out by a few of the guys! ME!!!) That was just a great day all around.
Anyway, sometimes I feel like I have no identity other than ‘so and so’s mom’. I have no style. I just have clothes. Does that make sense? lol Even my house…I just have furniture…I dont have a ‘style’ through the house.
*sigh*
Again…sacrifice. If I had a job I would be able to afford things like that. But, my kids are more important than me looking stylish. As long as they feel they look good that’s all that counts. *I* think anyway. And yes, I have to keep reminding myself that when I feel sorry for myself.
