What will I do this weekend? Some much needed cleaning and organizing or another outlet trip? I've dropped six sizes since February. Divorce diet is a killer but it's effective. I could use a few more new clothes but I've spent a lot lately. Rebuilding your wardrobe takes an investment though, right? I can't wear pants that I can pull down without unzipping all the time. I think I need to go to Shopaholics Anonymous. I know drowning your sorrows in retail therapy isn't smart but at least I'll look good going to the poor house.

Retail Therapy and Me
Army Boy is taking the kids this weekend. No, he still hasn't called them. Why bother, it'll only be seven weeks soon since they've heard the sound of their father's voice. I have all these visions in my mind of what their reunion will be like. But I'm betting it will probably be 'Hey Dad' and they'll walk by him and get in the car, just like they saw him yesterday. Should it bother me more that they don't seem to miss him too much? I get a knot in my stomach when I think about seeing him again after so long. I can't wait til it's over and done with. Quick, like removing a bandaid, let's rip it off and start the recovery from the sting.

I was unable to afford a new wardrobe, so I dug out my sewing machine. It was quite rewarding to tailor my clothes to fit my new body, and it sure took my mind off things I did NOT want to think about. I turned on the music loud, admired my new body in the mirror, and felt good about myself for the first time in a long time. It's a cheap solution to buying new clothes!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could sew! The last time I made a skirt, years ago, the people I worked with laughed at it and I've been too afraid to try it again.
DeleteI love your philosophy! Thanks for reading and writing!
