Take Note Gentlemen.

What is about to follow is a conversation that all men should want to avoid. Take note.

Woman a mere couple of months after having a baby: I need to go shopping. I have NOTHING that I can wear.

Clueless man: What do you mean you have nothing to wear? What about all of those clothes hanging up in your closet?

Woman: *crickets chirping* Are you serious right now. 

Man: *trying to think of what is the right answer. Too bad for him there isn't one* Um. Yes? You have a ton of clothes that are hanging up. Oh! What about the clothes that are folded in the bin?

Woman: *Glaring icicles*  Those "clothes" don't fit me anymore. I can't pull my jeans over my hips. My shirt won't close over my mom boobs.

Man: Ooohhh...now that's sexy. *smiling all cute with a charming smile--which didn't work on me*

Moral of the story? If the woman in your life says she has nothing to wear? Just tell her to go ahead and go shopping. And shirts that don't close over mom boobs?

Ew. Not sexy.

Edited to add: Leo just read this. His attempt at coming out the good guy? He said that I got a new  car. Um, if I have nothing cute to wear? That won't cut it, honey....

*This happened after both births. I now have clothes that fit {after shedding many postpartum tears...}

Our Day.

Saturday? Was amazing.

Leo let me sleep until almost 11.

Yes, almost 11. I had practically 12 hours of sleep.

I'm speechless.

And this is while he was sick. {edited to add that I had no clue he wasn't feeling well. He let me sleep in while he took care of the girls. Have I told y'all how much I adore my husband? I love him. A lot.}.

After Isabella took an early nap I took her to the park. We got fresh air. We laughed. We chased one another. We got some amazing sunshine.

After being there for nearly two hours we came home. Freshened up a little and she and I went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Yum.

Although I didn't get to partake in any margaritas due to my dd being out of commission we did enjoy chips, tacos and salsa--oh--Bella had beans. Her favorite food es frijoles. She asks for them daily. She is truly part Hispanic and takes after her Daddy. I don't really care for frijoles....

Anyway. So after that we went to Target. Where I probably spent way too much money for a total of four shopping bags. I nearly choked. I did buy two new pictures for our master bath and a Yankee candle {squeal! in my book there are some positives shopping sans husband. which translates to I get to buy whatever I want. although he is always the angel on my shoulder dammit}.

Guess where I went after Target? That's right. The best wine store on the Gulf Coast. Meet Drinx. The owner is amazing. He helped me discover my new favorite vino {best wine ever. King Estate Pinot Gris} last week. And guess what I bought tonite? King Estate Pinot Gris. Yum.

I am now drinking wine. Chillin'. Loving the peace and quiet. And watching LMN. Loves.

To my Isabella? I loved our day today. It was our day. Alone. And I couldn't have wished for a more perfect date.
