Yes, my yogurt pants. You see, I tried the sleek-looking tight-fitting yoga garb that has hit the shelves recently, and well, let’s just say that my lifestyle doesn’t approve! I’m a mother, a wife, a pet owner, an employee, a cook, a cleaner and in my spare time, a blogger. Who has time for yoga, never mind the pants to boot!

I wear yogurt pants. Very often these pants do in fact have yogurt smothered on them. I have a toddler, I am his mom. I am also his walking facecloth, dish towel, tissue and dedicated bum wiper. Honestly, I love being this little boy’s everything.

Pause to pick my puppy up and seat him next to me.

My sticky yogurt pants are covered in white fur. Whose idea was it to get a puppy? Oh right, mine! Boy are these pants comfy! Great for picking up dog poop, running after an escaping Houdini and they smell good, a la wet dog! I said wet dog, not downward dog!

My husband thinks my yogurt pants are sexy. Well he has no choice, you gotta take what you can get! There’s a somewhat shapely body underneath there somewhere, I think (might’ve been a while since I last checked)! All in all, they’re really great for cuddling in – perfect for me, hubby, he usually wants more 😉

Sigh, my yogurt pants have a hole in them, time to put them on the “to go pile”? Hell no! They just got a “hole” lot more character to them, in fact, they feel a tad cosier! They’re staying! Right now, they’re off to fetch the little dude from school, then off to pick up some groceries and then and then and then…

And then I see her. In her yogA pants. Whoa, all sleek and silky looking. Is she drinking a bottle of water? Who drinks plain old water? Wait, just wait a minute! She’s off for a run? What’s she going to run after? I don’t see no darting toddler or dashing dog. She’s going to run because, because she wants to?

My days are overwhelming, but this is just the cherry on the top. Really, who has time for exercise? Oh, but hang on a minute. I chased my son, played catch with the dog, did a special sort of workout with hubby, hoovered and mopped the floors, ran up the stairs and down the stairs, cleaned under furniture, changed the bed linen (most challenging task on earth) and heaved bags of groceries. That’s exercise, right? I do have time for exercise, I do!

Well done yogurt pants, well done!

Side note: this is just a little fun post I felt like writing, after joking with some friends about how we wear yogurt pants instead of the trendy yogurt pants that the more energetic folk wear. I’m not as lazy as I sound, I do exercise, on the ODD occasion. 

Hope you had as much fun reading this as I did writing it!

Much love - @sweetpea
