Letting Yourself Go

You know how people talk about couples who divorce because the wife "let herself go?" I think I'm 'that wife.' I realized today, as I prepared for our family portraits, that it was only the second time I had blown my hair dry and not worn it in a pony tail in 7 weeks. Most days I don't even manage a swipe of mascara to go with my pony tail. Truthfully, not wearing pajama pants is progress. These reasons alone may be why I need to go to work. Because even though my husband says he loves me like I am, if it stretched on forever he might change his mind.
