10/10/2014 -- day 30 -- frumpy and one month

I read a post today about a lady who is no longer 'frumpy'.  Frumpy in my mind is someone who is to tired, lazy, unmotivated, and (insert own adjective here) to care about their looks.

I am frumpy.  It is hard not to be frumpy when 90% of your clothes let your belly hang out the bottom or when you are so big you waddle so no matter what you wear you FEEL frumpy.  Now insert pants that are either to small and restrict your walking, or to big and fall down making you look like a 'homey-G'!

So yes I am frumpy.  I keep thinking one day I will not be frumpy.  I will have cute clothes and a hair cut that is easy to style (which my hair is changing yet again with this pregnancy-I wasn't born with a hair styling gene like many people I know, and then have my hair change every 3 years due to pregnancy and I am doomed to a ponytail or bun the rest of my life), I will be stylish.  People will look at me and think--'Wow, she looks really together!'

But today is not that day.  Nor is tomorrow.  Infact until the baby is a year old (aka: I stop breastfeeding) and my body becomes my own again, I will most likely be frumpy.  That is just how I roll.

So until that time just smile and know the best is yet to come!
