FLASHBACK FRIDAY : WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT PUT THE VASELINE AWAY

I ALMOST DIED when I ran across these. I was digging through the crates to find some pics of myself when I was as fit and trim as I'd like to be and this came across my computer screen. I remember it like it was yesterday. That is one of my most favorite Tea Collection sweater dresses that was totally RUINED. No way I was getting all of the oil out of that thing.

At any rate. THE CUTEST LITTLE MUNCHKIN - SHE IS!! It made me a little weepy to see. I feel like I've been fussing at her a lot lately. About moving too slowly when I ask her to do something. Not listening to me the first time. I'm just trying so hard to raise her to be a smart, confident and responsible girl. But I have to remember to let her be a little girl. They wiggle and squirm. Don't have the greatest attention span. And are still watching and learning every little thing. And that takes time. It reminded me that she is my little girl and to be patient with her NOW. Just like I to be the day she got into the Vaseline.

 this one - yes!! 

excited to be doing a little valentines day party withe littles this weekend. 

what are you getting in to? aren't you glad its friday?!

QUICK QUESTION {MOM TALK}

Quick Question - I've been meaning to talk to you about this.

So I was riding in the car with one my mom friends  (who shall remain nameless) and she reached down in the car to fetch something from her purse.. I happened to glance over for a sec and to my shock and surprise (and CONFUSION) saw the cutest (animal print?) THONG sticking out of her jeans. My first thought was WHAT THE HAM SANDWICH!! IS THAT WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO BE WEARING??!! We are the same age, with kids the same age... My undergarments have not even closely resembled that in quite some time (except on very special occasion:-) she was just hanging out with me and the kiddos which suggests that this is a normal occurrence.

I remember very distinctly folding laundry with my grandmother (I was probably around 22) when she held up a pair of my underwear and asked how I managed to wear something that looked so uncomfortable. I assured her that they were indeed comfortable. And that I didn't even feel them. I'm wondering now, If I was LYING, or if my junk (in the trunk) was just much smaller then?? Because that is most certainly no longer the case.  And I'm sure I had every intention (back then) to go on to be one of those MILFs (okay MILKs) who wore sexy (matching) under garments just to keep it sexy for herself (and her beau).

Not quite.

Last weekend I had to have a friend re-take some pics of me because I realized you could see my underwear (over my jeans, under my shirt). Very bad.

I mean, I know I've talked about stepping up my game. And I have taken some steps in that direction. But I had no intention of taking it to that level - my goodness.  Now, I'm starting to question whether or not I'm missing out on something? Is my husband getting the short end of the stick? Can that really be comfortable?

Real Questions. Your thoughts? 

Random, I know:-/

My Momtourage - VANITY

I mentioned a few weeks back that I started watching Sex and The City episodes to fill in the gap until the new seasons of my favorite shows start again (Boardwalk Empire, Parenthood, Girls woo hoo!  I got chills just thinking about it - yeah I said GIRLS!!). After I put the kiddos to bed, I need something to help me wind down, and feel like I'm "off the clock" at least for a little while.

Well this little adventure did the opposite - Sex and the City. It got me all wound up. Emotional. Angry. Sad. Flustered. Excited... I also upped my coffee intake during this time, which might account for the bouts of ANXIETY. But most of all deep feelings of nostalgia (and JEALOUSY) set in. I began to reminisce about the time in my life where MY LIFE was actually about ME.  When I could make plans for brunch with the girls for Saturday and sleep in until it was time to get dressed. I could shower without a small person standing at the glass, clapping waiting for me to come out (applause, why thank you?). And put my make up on in the bathroom instead of the rear view mirror of the car.

Nowadays conversations are less about hot dates and more about play dates.. The cute guys I cant stop gushing over are wearing diapers and most of my recent purchases include a rather large receipt from Crewcuts.

I'm not complaining (very much), but I miss those times a bit. The SUSPENSE and the VANITY of it all. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. Always being so consumed and responsible for someone other than myself. I should be used to it by now??

There is hope for the future.... but for now, Its not about me (apparently).


                              

I have a few friends that I am quite thankful for (like this young lady). MY MOMTOURAGE I LIKE TO CALL THEM. They make this wondrous adventure a bit easier. Listening, Encouraging, and Humoring me along the way.
