So, we have spent the majority of the past three weeks in a variety of “hot” situations - temperature and emotion based heat that is..
I am sure you are ensuring that your fam has all of their back to school threads in order.. as am I - (kids and Hub this year too!) so naturally my needs for clothing come last (tell me I am NOT alone!)..
Well, apparently somewhere along the lines my body has revolted and I have gained a few (more than.. 
) pounds and now my summer wear does not fit me. I am also down to my last three pairs of pants (jeans) all of which have decided this week they would rip in some fashion or another (butt cheek anyone?!)
So I pretty much have no clothing.. correction - appropriate clothing.. I am wearing jeans in the sweltering heat because my shorts are too snug, I wore a frumpola shorty dress to a wedding because my other dress was too unbreathably tight and lord only knows what other fashion 911 I committed this season.. only to be asked REPEATEDLY - “How come you’re not wearing this?”, “How come you don’t wear that?!”, “Why are you wearing those?!” and other variations of that question to which my response was always a very plain “Because it doesn’t fit” - no rebuttal.
So the other night, I discovered yet again, some other piece of fabric that did not fit.. that did it.. in a mini-fit of semi rage I let out an exasperated moan only to hear my hubby let out a muffled laught and say “You’re so hard on yourself”.. Am I?! I wanted to ask him outright.. “Wait a minute.. You actually like this spare tire?!” …but he continues.. “Why don’t you wear that?!” - I spin and look at him.. “BECAUSE IT DOESN’T FIT!!!!”
The fabric tides are about to change - along with the tunes of my family.. you see.. I am a comfy person.. I LOVE sweaters (the furrier, the better) and when fall comes, out come my sweaters. My sweaters thankfully actually fit me - so I am very excited!! The problem of course - my dear Hub HATES them… so of course.. the question of the day will stay the same “Why are you wearing that??” my answer will change though this time to “BECAUSE IT FITS!!!”
Hope your weekend is great!
