Support and Mom of the Year

Thanks for all of the sweet comments. Just so you know (here I go thinking about what other people think of me) I don't write stuff to get people to say nice things to make me feel better (not that I don't appreciate it, because I really do) or for a pity party. I just write what I feel as I am sure most of you do as well. Generally I am a pretty happy kind of person and secure in my place in this world ... well most days! Anyway - thanks for the support ladies!

Update on Mom of the Year Award: At the end of last weekend's soccer game, Chatty comes running off the field shouting "Mom, I scored a goal!" I look at her and say "You don't mean the one that you kicked and then stopped going after (just like the week before) and the kid from the other team accidentally kicked it in?" "No mom, I scored another goal and you weren't even paying attention" Mr. ESPN walks over and confirms that she did score one herself. Me - "Great job Chatty I am so proud of you." Then I turn to the two moms I was chatting with during the game and told them I am not allowed to talk to them during the games anymore because between watching Bia and talking to them I couldn't pay attention and see Chatty's first goal. To top it off Mr. ESPN and I forgot to bring the camera too ... lucky Chatty was so excited about scoring and the after game snack that she didn't get mad at me for missing the goal. Hope you are are fairing better in the Mom of the Year Award category!!

I was catching up on blog reading and realized I haven't updated since Monday ... I guess it is because there really isn't too much to update, no new pictures since the first day of school and I just don't have anything witty to say! Do any of you plan out what you blog about prior to typing it - I mean like when you are driving in the car, at the gym, in the shower? A lot of times I do in an effort to try to come up with something interesting to blog. Usually when I am running on the treadmill at the gym I try to think of stuff. Tuesday I forgot my IPOD and was so annoyed (it is so hard for me to run without music to sidetrack me) that I couldn't concentrate on trying to think of something good to write, but as I was finishing up my run it came to me:

Ta-ta support and how annoying it is to see women who don't have any, especially at the gym! Don't they know that is why sports bras were invented? And also, if it doesn't support you anymore, newsflash - time to get a new one! Mine are not that big and it hurts me to run without a good sports bra, so how in the world can they let theirs jiggle and not writhe in pain? Yes I know, we live in a world of plastic and some don't move, but unfortunately for me most of the unsupported ones do move! The same holds true if you are not at the gym. Invest in a good bra that supports what you got - it will make you look slimmer and taller (I got that from What Not to Wear's Clinton and Stacey). If I wanted to look at jiggly ta-tas I would jump up and down in front of the mirror naked (hope you weren't eating while reading this)!

Back to a more PG related blog post, we are meeting my friend A on Saturday to look at flower girl dresses for Chatty Cathy, will try and post some pictures this weekend or early next week. School is going great - Chatty Cathy loves it and also loves doing before and after school at Boys and Girls Club.
