It's A Long Time Till Spring

This is what it looks like every day where I live. Literally, I am surrounded by corn fields and gray skies.
Which makes me feel like this
I try to get dressed, put on make-up, and do my hair each day but as soon as I get home from picking Aidan up from school my hair is pushed back in a headband, my face is scrubbed clean, and I'm sporting my fave yoga pants - which is hysterical since yoga has never actually been done while wearing them. Sometimes I mix it up and wear multi-colored striped socks or a hot pink headband but that's as edgy as I am these days. Please tell me you guys all look like this, too. Lie to me if you must.

pretty much, only i'm at the office looking like a zombie all day. i start the day in jeans and a tee shirt with a little bit of make up on but by lunch my hairs standing on end from ripping it from my scalp and my make up is smeared from periodic break downs and fits of crying during the morning hours. by 5:00pm the make up is completely gone and by the very end of the day i've added layers of mud caked onto my shoes and jeans from trying to get the dog to crap at least once before i shower (she'd much rather chase the cats), bits of food crusted onto my shirt from cooking dinner with two kids and a dog circling my legs and splashes of dirty water from doing the dishes under the same conditions...sometimes i find pieces of guinea pig poop in my shoes too. rest assured love, we're all ugly at the end of the day.

I think it is so cool! I don't wear make-up or even a bra if I'm not going anywhere (or even if I do go somewhere for that matter). My favorite outfit is a tank top and shorts, or a t-shirt and yoga pants (never done yoga, either) if it cools off here. Just look at my Wordless Wednesday, I don't even have make-up on for my PT appt.

You've got one up on me, I don't even put make up on to drop Aiden off. Once in awhile I'll put some one to pick him up...maybe. They're lucky I don't show up in my plaid PJ pants that I wear all.day.long.

ummm... No... I work on the "Seventh Floor"... otherwise known as the Director's floor... which is the equivalent to the Oval Office portion of the White House... I dress in Christopher & Banks and Lands End most days and save the yoga pants for the weekends... I do miss the stay at home days where I would walk the girls to the bus stop in a noobie cap and pajama bottoms... My neighbors thought I was a complete slob but I ROCKED!

I am presently in a fat fluffy pink robe that has me looking like a sack of potatos. I'm also wearing sweat socks, stolen from my son's drawer. Who am I to make fun of you?

I look "functional" for work, on my days off, screw it, no make-up, hair pulled in back, jeans and a t-shirt. I do however look just like the lady to the right coming home from work....all glassy eyed and totally out of it.

it is an awesome picture, but not something I'd want in my backyard everyday.

hope you get some sun soon.

No lie... I look like that everyday. The only difference between you and I, is I don't have to leave the house to take anyone to school. Actually, I usually only leave the house on the weekends. So yes... I look like that every single day too! ;)

You're not alone!!!!!!!!! I suspect there is an entire colony of us but you didn't mention a bra... Some days I don't do the whole bra thing.. Please someone chime in and share that they too do not do the bra every single day either... And in the winter I wear my pajamas under my looooong coat.. Lol..
