The victory has been won!!!

I was pouring through my closet this morning, searching for something that I can wear out tomorrow evening to a friend's birthday party at a local club, and I came across the thing that every mom dreads......those infamous pair of favorite pre-pregnancy jeans! They have been shoved into a tupperware bin, hidden behind the door of our closet for many, MANY months and this morning, as I dug through the bin to find a shirt that I thought was in there, my favorite jeans begged me to just try them on. (I have strictly avoided this since I packed them away last spring, some 4 months pregnant with Ellie!)

So, just as I have with several other pairs of pants in recent months, I inspected the label to recall the size, positioned myself in front of my full length mirror and quietly told myself not to hold out too much hope. LOL! With one leg in and then the other, that dreaded moment of pulling them up over my thighs came. Ugh! I HATE that part!! But much, MUCH to my surprise, they slid right up and even MORE to my surprise, they buttoned!!!!! YAAAAHOOOOOOOO! The victory has been won!!! I literally cheered right there in my closet and ran down here to the computer to share my happy news, stopping by the couch to tell Luke of my victory, to which he thought I was insanely silly! :) LOL! But this is a bright spot in my morning...in my day....in my MONTH, really! Welcome back to life, my favorite Lucky Brand jeans!! I've missed you dearly!!!!
