WIWW!!!

Alright. I did it. My first week of What I Wore Wednesdays is now complete! And what an interesting week it was!

So I am a little nervous about this...keep that in mind as you read through this. Remember I am not photogenic and I hate having my picture taken - so this was a challenge for me! All images were taken with my iPhone, so they are not the best quality :) And I am not the most fashionable person in the world...and I am learning that I have even less fashion sense than what I thought I did!

MONDAY:



Blue print dress - Target | 3-inch killer (seriously I fell off them like 4 times and twisted my ankle) wedges - Target | Black cardigan - Loft

Observations: Way too low of a dress to wear to work - will wear a tank top under it next time. It seemed to keep growing as the day went on, and I spent most of my day adjusting it. Too long of a cardigan for this dress - need something a bit shorter, I think :)

TUESDAY:



Reverse leopard print skirt, tank top, short-sleeve henley - Old Navy | Born Sandals - TJ Maxx | Standard elastic hair band - ??

Observations: Mike and I laughed at Daisy's pose in this picture. Anyway, such a fresh, comfortable outfit!

WEDNESDAY:



Turquoise tank and white scooped neck shirt - Old Navy | Black pants - Coldwater Creek | Black glitters - TOMS | Mini-heart tag necklace - Tiffany's

Observations: Mike took this picture after our date in the lunch room at my office. Max and Erma's, my cute husband, just doesn't get any better than that :)

THURSDAY:



Black jersey dress - Target | Black glitters - TOMS | Sunglasses (that later broke) - Target | Handmade glassbead necklace purchased at Fatheads - a dive that my parents often frequent

Observations: I hurt my knee or I would have been wearing heels. Flats do not go well with this look. My hair is a little wild because I had it pulled up part of the day, and I drove home with my windows down. Oh well.

FRIDAY:



Black skirt and black short-sleeved sweater - Coldwater Creek | White tank top - Old Navy | Flips - YellowBox

Observations: Ugh ugh and ugh. Not a good outfit. Won't be wearing this again. This was taken under the tree in our front yard. I wore my wedges from Target and I tripped wearing them again...so I broke out the flips, which is actually not the most professional thing to wear to the office, but I was desperate!

Saturday:



Black jersey skirt, black tank, short-sleeved henley - Old Navy | Flips - YellowBox

Observations: I wore this when my parents came down for a visit. So comfortable. My only complaint? I look pregnant! Which wouldn't be a bad thing if I actually WAS, but since I am NOT - I am not crazy about this outfit. The skirt, while I am swimming in it, still seems to be a bit clingy, as was the shirt. Might just have to find a different shirt to wear with it. Oh well. Also, this was taken on our beautiful back deck. One of my favorite parts of our house :)

And I took Sunday off! :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this :) I am still debating if I will continue to participate in WIWW :)

43 and worried

I turned 43 yesterday.  A few weeks ago, I had to get my license renewed. I was feeling okay until I pulled out my old license and went to hold it up against my new license image. Mike caught me doing this, and he said, "NO! Don't do it, Erin!" which made us both laugh until I looked down and was shocked by the contrast. Four years ago, 20 pounds lighter (at least), smiling, hair perfectly done (or as well as I could do hair which isn't ever that great), I looked at least my age. Mike once remarked that of all the many license pictures he sees, mine was a really great picture. (But I know four years ago, life was no easier than it is now - in some ways it was harder.) But then the current picture. No life in the eyes or maybe just a lot of sadness, an abundance of wrinkles, hair that was out of place, and attempt at a half-hearted smile and a few additional chins. Haggard is the word that came to mind. Stress has not been kind to my appearance. I mentioned this to my ...

He's he-ere!

Introducing... Grayson Michael Born 11/25/12 at 3:02 am Grayson entered the world via emergency c-section. Mike got to step into the role of Daddy immediately and went with the baby while I was in the recovery room. They got to spend some time bonding in the nursery. Grayson is such a joy! He and his daddy hit it off immediately. There is nothing more attractive than watching your husband turn into a daddy. Be still my heart. We were in the hospital for SO many days...I could not wait to get home. I missed my bed. Which funny enough, I haven't gotten to sleep in since that first night home. Taking the steps more than once a day is just too difficult right now. So for now, we have been crashing on the couch. Unfortunately Gray had problems with jaundice, and he had light therapy with a bili blanket. Mike told people his son was rocking a low profile LED light bar - just like a police cruiser ;)  I love his little frowny face :) ...

Ready for the next season...

Usually I love spring. But this year is a different story. Spring has been mostly gray, cold and dreary - and with it, it has brought a great deal of heartache. With the uptick in aggressive behaviors from Grayson (thanks a lot, puberty) and the realization that we are now a year into being provider-less, to being told that Gray was too severe for one provider company, to having to research and call around to group homes to see if they are a good fit for Gray,  to Grayson's constant elopement attempts, to realizing that Grayson goes to therapy and comes home...he has very little to do for fun and he has no one outside of the family or his dedicated therapists to invest in him.  To make matters worse, right now Grayson gets very upset - to the point of property-damaging, when either Mike or I leave the house without him. His team is going to work on that, but it has been very limiting what we can do. The walks I used to take that I enjoyed so much to clear my head are in the pa...
