Yesterday was a good day. I bought happy pants. Happy pants are pants that you actually feel happy about wearing, instead of feeling like you'll never be comfortable in them, and the only people that could possibly enjoy wearing them are super-thin clothing models who have never had children or anything except a salad for dinner in their entire life.
Jeans are not happy pants. I found happy pants in the athletic department a couple of years ago, and they include a draw string and sometimes a nice comfortable waistband. I had to buy these after having my first C-section, when putting on jeans was painful. After having my second C-section, I've decided that's all I'm ever going to wear. There's no struggle to place my scarred and unsightly abdomen into pants that are just a reminder of what my body used to look like. Nope, happy pants let me feel happy about having had those sweet little kids, and let me go about my day in total comfort. So three cheers for my new pants!
(Mom, I know you're horrified, but that's what I'm wearing.)

I have a love/hate relationship with said style of pants. Apparently I love them more than hate, because that's all I wear. However, the fact that "happy pants" are all I wear is the cause for hate. It's a no win situation for me.
You are right! I am horrified!
You have made my day. As soon as I get home from work the dress clothes come off and my 'happy pants' and sweatshirt go on. Comfort is so much more important than fashion.
Yes, I admit, I have more pairs or "happy pants" than I should admit to. Kudos to your confidence in happy pants!
I bought a pair of maternity gauchos last pregnancy...they are the most comfy pants ever. Hooray for happy pants!
