Later, force yourself to dress cute to 3-1/2 year old's dance class (because, you did decide to write that fashion blog, after all, and what would people think?). Then try to keep the cute outfit on for the rest of the day. Get uncomfortable, especially when no one in the house naps but you want to take one so you lie on the couch for 2 minutes (just enough time to fall asleep) and wake to the sound of, “Momma, I have to go poo poo!” You yell, “Can't you do it yourself?” But you know it won't be pretty and it's just better if you get up now and help (though it's best to act like you're “not helping” so 3-1/2 year old feels independent).

Being a mom is fun...like when you finally get out to go for a run with your (almost) 1-year old because it's usually the best nap she gets all day but instead of sleeping she decides to throw a fit and in the end you only run a quarter of what you normally do, and end up having to carry your (almost) 1-year old back to the car ( 2 miles!!!). She doesn't nap but she does poop. You have to clean it in the car, you're nearly out of wipes, and it gets on stuff.

| OUTFIT #3 Sweater - Thrift Store (Thanks, Mom!) Shorts - GAP (similar) Boots - UGG (similar) |
Finally, go to the grocery store but wear "Old Korean Man's Sweater" (no really, looked at the tag and it's Korean) your mom bought you from the thrift store because you said you wanted something fair isle and well, it's kinda fair isle-ish. It's also bright. Really bright. If you were lost in the mountains while hiking, this is the sweater you'd want to be wearing. You consider wearing it with fringe boots, but out of better fashion judgment, decide to keep it simple.
Realize you were wrong. Technically it's 4 outfits since you're now wearing flannel pajama pants and v-neck t-shirt, ready for bed. But won't get to go to bed for a few hours. Why? Because although it seems like you did so much today, you really didn't get anything done (is that actually possible?). Sigh. Oh well. There's always tomorrow...
