sign of a good mom or a mad woman...

I have been spending the last month or so trying to replace my children's partially destroyed & too-small wardrobe. The man-child now wears a MENS medium & a size 10 MENS shoe! Yikes!! It is so unbelievably fun to purchase things for my children. I have this sense of.. I would say accomplishment.. but it is more than that... almost like I stored up all the food we need for winter.. something like that. However today, as we walked into a store where I found $50 pants for the man-child on sale for $6.. (yup!).. I realized that I was wearing a pair of jeans that I have owned for at least 4 years... and it is obvious. My shirt had two holes in it, my jacket three holes... old shoes.. hair in a ponytail... at least I had makeup on right?!? LOL.. I don't really think about how we look walking around town... I would like to assume that when people see my kiddos dressed so much nicer than me that they instinctively know it is because I sacrifice my own wardrobe because there really isn't another option. It is myself or them... but I can't do it all. I must be going crazy.. I am sure that is how I looked anyway... Thankfully most days I do not care... lol. Today was a little different, but I did get myself some pepper spray.. so anybody that tries something crazy better close their eyes... I am content with my pepper spray :)
