Sometimes I have help being embarrassed.
I live alone (generally) and like to be comfortable in the privacy of my own home. This might lead to some interesting outfits for me to hang around in. I might wear an old sweatshirt, pj bottoms, funny-looking socks and my usual clogs for slippers. My hair will be either hanging all over or in a ponytail. I do not feel a need for a bra in the house. I don't much feel a need for one ever, but I don't wear one around the house by myself.
So I like to slob out. That is my bad habit. My daughter has a bad habit of bringing friends over without warning. We have discussed this over and over. I have met most of her boyfriends when I look like a bag lady. They are always polite, but I am guessing they start to howl with laughter before they get back to the car. They should, and I wouldn't blame them.
I thought we got that through her head when she brought the last boyfriend here and caught me in capri pj's and socks. It was pretty bad. There was almost blood shed over that one.
Last night she asked me when I would be home today. I said I had a computer class from 9:30-11:30 am, and would be in and out after that. She had been in the house while I was gone, so I figured she was gone for the day, since she is in the process of painting her new apartment.
Apparently, "when are you going to be home?" means "I am bringing in a guy you have never met so we can move some of my things out of the house."
I have on a blue Oshkosh top, little girls' purple sweat pants, socks with flowers, and pearls. Sigh. I won't change my ways. It's my house, and I am entitled to do this. Maybe if she does it again I will make her go out in public with me dressed like this. That might cure her, if I could survive it.
Does Oshkosh go with Prada?

I really think you should get a sweat shirt that says, I am (insert name) Mother! I would also remind the guys that a girl always ends up lookin' like her dear ole MOM as you are picking at your nose and giving her a big HUG. Yep, that otta do it all right! (Clasp the pearls!) Anne
I never wear a bra on the weekends and sometimes go out that way in the winter when I have a big sweatshirt over my shirt I'm small chested anyway. My kid had her friends stop by yesterday and I was a charmer especially since I was spring cleaning as well. My favorite lounge wear is long johns, a big long sleeved shirt..long of course and some socks. Although my socks are pretty boring. Children should learn to announce themselves and their friends don't you think?? rose
You crack me up! I dress the same way around here! I usually am by myself since Joe is in In.......but....I have this guy who is always knocking on the door trying to finagle the broken down Mazda from us. It is a blessing in disguise to get rid of that thing. He arrives all the time in the afternoon and has seen me in some odd outfits, usually cooking (I have gained at least 10 pounds with Joe gone!)...and the outfits become more bizarre as time goes on. So, I understand!
You do crack me up girl!

That is too funny. Hey, it can kind of be a "boyfriend" check for your daughter. If the guy she is seeing doesn't howl with laughter (which would be immature on his part anyway) then she will know he is a keeper. After all, they tell guys to look at the mothers as this is how the girls will look when they mature.

P.s Oshkosh and Prada go together as long as you say they do!
The pearls are a nice touch. I never wear a bra around the house either!

I know this is serious stuff - - so why should I be laughing? It's the visuals you've painted with words....I can just picture it! By the way, this ol' cowboy also often indulges in being sloppy in the privacy of his own home.
