How do you wear high heels, everyday?

I'm a pretty low maintenance girl. I am happy in my flip flops, jeans and tennis shoes. However, sometimes that girly side of me kicks in and I want to wear a cute pair of shoes. Many times, this cute pair of shoes involve high heels. After wearing the cute shoes for a few hours, I'm left wondering ladies...HOW DO YOU WEAR HIGH HEELS ALMOST EVERY DAY?

Seriously.

I got a new pair of boots for Christmas with a modest heel. They fit perfect and are super cute. I wore them to work for the first time the other day and came home with huge blisters on the ball of my feet. Now I don't have a job that requires a lot of standing and walking. I walk from my car to the office. From my desk to the break room or bathroom and back (2 or 3 times per day) and then back to my car at the end of the day. And yet, by the time I was hobbling (yes it hurt so bad I was actually hobbling). Yáll is was below freezing outside and I was actually contemplating taking my boots off and walking to my car in sock feet. I was desperate for relief.

So I need to know, ladies, how do you manage to wear high heels regularly? Is this a get used to the pain thing? Is there a trick that someone forgot to tell me? Is this just something we must suffer through and only true females who have style find it worth the cause? If I wore heels more often, would I get used to them?

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I'm kind of on the...um..short side. Wearing heels would be so nice. I need every inch I can take.

To add insult to injury, my five year old prances around in her heels for hours every day. They don't seem to bother her.

So, am I the only one who can't wear heels? Please let me know that I'm not alone. Or if you were once me, how you managed to start wearing heels.

Another Frugal Friday

It has been a while since my last frugal Friday. We survived summer and found out just how much carpooling could save us! We used the saved money to take the kids to the Knoxville Zoo, Space and Air Museum and The Adventure Science Center. We actually bought a family pass for $90 to the Adventure Science Center so we can take the kids back during the fall, winter and spring. They change exhibits often and truthfully, their “Adventure Tower” is better than any indoor play ground I’ve seen, so it is a good investment in our world. I have also jumped on the “a deal a day” bandwagon. Most people have head about Groupon , where every day they have a deal for a local business. It is usually about 50% off, for food, drinks or service. It seems that *most* of their deals seem to be for food/drinks and salon services, but earlier this year they did have a family membership to the Adventure Science Center for $45 (and yes, I missed it.) Today’s deal is 3 Laser Hair-Removal Treatments for $...

I'm a WOH! Mom

I am a WOH! (Work Outside the Home) Mom. I don’t have a choice. My Husband and I both have to work to afford a 1200 sq. ft. house in a small town 45 minutes out of Nashville. We both have to work to afford two older vehicles (2002 and 2003). We both have to work to pay the electric bill, water bill and car insurance. We don’t have cable or satellite, we don’t have internet and we don’t spend money eating out. Most months we barely get by. If one of us decided to stay home and we got rid of one vehicle, we could only afford to pay $200.00 in rent. We would still make too much to qualify for any kind of state or federal assistance. So we both work. But, if I had the choice, I would still be a WOH! Mom. Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to not HAVE to work, but I would still work. I would still send my daughter to preschool five days a week. For me, Preschool is a God-send. The group of teachers at her preschool are brave. They let the one year olds finger paint!! Preschool has taught my d...
