Feeling Better By Doing Some Simple Things

Being a stay at home mom, I find it easy to get into a rut and the rut seems that much deeper when DH is home all the time too! And as you know, if you read here regularly, I've been down and we've been having some intense conversations (dh and I). Well, the conversation - the open communication - is getting us somewhere. We are working out the issues and it is so exciting. That's not such a simple thing; communication can be hard.

The simple things I'm talking about that have got me feeling more chipper this morning, dispite having a summer cold, are:

new haircut - this was part of my issue, but I'm working with it after checking out this post.
hair done, with "mud" and the whole bit
makeup - more than just mascara
jewelry - the necklace I'm wearing (a gift from Christy, from SmartMom) I haven't really ever wore because it always seemed the wrong length if I used the clasp. So I tied a knot in it and it works!!!! (Think outside the box)
nice sandals - I love my Earth Spirit Shoes from Wal-Mart! Cheap and comfy!

Two other fine ladies joined me on this "mission" today. Check out Stephanie and Christi too (links coming soon)! Well, don't check them out (unless you are their significant other, but I don't think their significant others read my blog)! But check out the girls' blog posts.

Try it. Get dressed up, just because! I did!
