Sun Hands and Sweater Tights

It was a bright and sunny day. Unfortunately, I was super busy at work and didn't leave the building the whole day. It must have taken it's toll on me, because I'm feeling pretty down tonight. I should probably make a point to leave the building for a little while each day.

My morning did not start off the greatest. When I picked my son up yesterday, he told me he had lost his glasses again. I told him to look for them at school today, and if he didn't find them there, we would search the house really good. Well, this morning while I was in the shower, my mom came storming into the bathroom asking where his glasses were. I told her I didn't know to which she replied, "Yeah, you wouldn't know where they were unless they were on YOUR face!" She puts me down like this all the time. Usually I just let it roll right off of me, but for some reason, this morning it really hurt me. (By the way, my son was wearing his glasses when I picked him up this afternoon. He had left them at school, just like I thought.) I've spoken to her on several occasions about how it makes me feel when she puts me down, but she just can't stop doing it.

Everyone in my family knows about the post I did for EA today, but none of them have shown any interest in knowing more about or even reading it. My husband hasn't even read it, and he knows how excited I was about it. It hurts that there is no one in my life that is interested in the things I enjoy. I guess the things I enjoy are for me, and I shouldn't expect others to be interested in it, but it feels lonely sometimes.

I'm wearing my sweater dress from The Limited again. This time I jazzed it up with some sweater tights. I really love these tights, but I have a hard time finding things to wear with them. I think this dress in my favorite thing I've worn with them so far. My husband said I can call around and try to find a Soft-Structured Dress tomorrow. I really hope I can find one in my size!

The song today is "Sun Hands" by Local Natives. I love this band so much! They played at a little club a couple hours from me a few months ago. I wanted to go so bad, but I couldn't find anybody to go with me. I wish I had just gone by myself. I'm kicking myself for not going now. Anyway, I think this song is about feeling happiness, losing it, and wanting to get it back again.

Thanks to everyone who read my post on EA and commented! It meant so much to me!
