So in effort to be semi respectable tonight (lenten thing at church) I decided holes in the jeans would be bad and hunted up something nicer. You may recall my recent medical issue, it came with a two size expansion (sorry not a size 8 anymore )
Well I am back in 10s, not great, and more irritating since I do not have a little one to hold...
But all my jeans that I know fit now, have holes, so I headed to the closet to see just how close to an 8 or 9 I am, grabbed one pair of size 9s and tried them on.
I couldn't even get it up to my hips much less over them! Talk about depressing moments! I checked, all other jeans even close to 9 have holes.....so I grabbed a pair a bit smaller..and a bit stretchier....
A size 6 and they fit! Good grief they have changed sizes dramaticaly! So I checked my size 31/34 jeans (you can't change that, 31 inch waist means 31 inch waist...no getting around that)...one fits, one doesn't (different cut, big hips).
I decided to dich the 9s..every time I have a kid (or lose one) I go thru the down phase of weight, and every time I come to the size 9s and I try them, and every time I get depressed because they don't fit....seems to me I am storing them for nothing but trouble!
The number (9) doesn't really bother me much, it is the fact that I haven't worn them since highschool (pre kid), and all outside reports (plus the tape measure) say I am thinner now.....shrunk in storage or something? I dunno, but out they go.
What's in a name? (not really money related)

But yes - my first pregnancy just made my butt bigger - LOL - and this last time I have started gaining belly weight and my butt is shrinking. I actually don't mind so much because it is easier to shop for clothes - more in proportion I guess. My upper half has grown considerably, just wider all around, but not when it comes to this particular jacket. No rhyme or reason...

and dresses..couldn't you tell me how long the bloody skirt is instead of making me guess what 'mid thigh' is on me...at 6ft midthigh may or may not be kneelength......or it may really be mid thigh.....you just can't tell unless they offer a measurment and I can get a ruler myself.
