Wasn't that the ad years ago for Playtex bra's? They lift and separate. Well, my "girls" are now properly lifted and in their correct spots on my body thanks to a proper bra fitting. After I had D, Oprah had her Bra Intervention show which showed that most women are NOT wearing the correct sized bra. Once I was done breast feeding D, I looked up some shops near my home and RAN to get fitted.
It's been a few years and 25lbs lost that I've been properly fitted. I finally fit into cute Victoria Secret panties, so I decided to see if the bras fit as well and was measured by the workers there. Of course they said that I was now down to a DD. Well, I purchased a few DD sized bras, but never felt comfortable in them. I was skeptical about VS b/c DD is the largest cup size they sell, so OF COURSE I'm going to be that size.
Well, after months of hiking up my straps on my bra, I decided I had enough!! I went back on the internet and had Oprah direct me to a place out here to be fitted. **angels singing on high** I'm back into a comfortable bra! No more falling straps or boob squishing. It's soooo nice to walk into a place, get measured for the band size and have the woman bring you the correct cup size b/c she could just tell!! I'm not kidding, she never measured me for cup size - she eyeballed me and was 100% correct!! Now that's a person who is very good at her job.
So, my moral of the story is - get professionally fitted for a bra!! You don't have to return to that store to purchase them, but at least you'll know your correct size. And stay away from JC Penney, VS or the like and go to a specialty bra shop.

Damn Mouse!!
So, a couple of months ago, I asked my friend Krista to watch D for an afternoon. I can't remember what I was doing, but she said OK. Krista's son J is D's bestest friend - they were born just days apart from each other too, so that helps. They've been in MOMS Club together, playgroup and school...Oh! and I can't forget they go to childwach at the gym together sometimes. So, they are together a lot.
As I said, a few months ago, Krista watched D for me. Her husband was off of work, so they decided to take the kiddo's to Chuck E Cheese. Never in my wildest dreams would I EVER think that D would still be talking about this trip. I just want to say, D had been to CEC many times before, so it wasn't a new experience for him. Since this day, at random times in the car I will hear.
"Mom, Krista took me to CEC"
"I went to CEC with J"
"I want to go to CEC with Krista again"
"Can we go to CEC now?" "Krista would take me"
This isn't just a one time sentence, NOOOOOO, that would be too simple and why would I blog about it. No, these "conversations" last anywhere between 5-20min long!! There are time I avoid driving on the 500 past the mall b/c you can see CEC from the road and that only sparks up this annoying conversation.
Yes, I have left nasty messages on Krista's voicemail regarding this incident...more than one time. AND, being a great mom that she is, Krista has "booked" J's birthday party at CEC!! grrrrrrrrrr
Krista - I just finally had to blog about my crazy kid and his obsession with CEC

Clown at Mc Donalds
You'd think I was talking about Ronald being there, but NOOOOOO, it's much better than that!!
On Monday, the realtor called to show the house between 1-1:30, so I decided to take D to McD's for playtime. An older woman came into McD's with (I assume) was her grandson, however, the way this woman was dressed I swear Ringling Bros was in town!
The woman was in her late 60's to early 70's, so a much older woman. She had hot pink hair. Not just the spray in type either. No, this was an actual dyed color. Oh, it gets better.... Picture the pink hair on a 70yo woman, now for her outfit. She had on flannel pajama pants - yellow with purple, pink, blue and green plaid stripes. Orange tennis shoes, orange socks, yellow t-shirt and red zip-up hooded sweatshirt. Her purse was also as colorful as she was, it was a multicolored patchwork bag with a lime green fringe around the zipper area. To make the outfit even stand out more, the woman was very large and tall.
You never know where you may find the interesting people. I love watching people, so this woman was interesting.

Does the circus still take children?
I headed to the gym today with D in tow and everything was good. UNTIL...
Until we had to leave the gym. I picked D up from the childwatch area and he turns to me and asks where his goldfish crackers are. Puzzled, I said that I didn't have any with me. D insisted that I did have some in my purse. That triggered a meltdown that lasted well over an hour. He cried all the way to the car, all the way to the grocery store (I needed stuff for dinner), through the grocery store, all the way home, through lunch, and just up until he went down for a nap.
And this wasn't just a few tears here and there, this was full blown tears STREAMING down his face, his face blotchy red and shoulders wracked in sobs.
UGH! Kids.
