The Pampered Ladies Package Train

I will share a personal story with you about self image. 2 1/2 years ago i had to have a surgical operation because of my cancer that resulted in a divise being placed on my stomach (it is visable in tight clothing and embarrising). A year later i had not put on a swim suit we were in Disneyland at the pool and I was sitting on the side of the pool. My dd looked at me and said Mom please come in, to which i replied Hunny i can't people will see the outline in my swimsuit. DD got out of the pool walked up to me and said. Mom you can sit on the sidelines worring about what a bunch of strangers think, or you can get in the pool with the people who love you and dont give a crap what you look like on the outside. (DD was 12) I got in the pool lol. Let the people who love you tell you how you look, they are much more honest.

Oh and Gwen is right I dont have a buddy list yet soooo.......

WOW your daughter is amazing and SO right! Smart girl.. gee wonder where she gets that from ;)

There are at least 3 of us in this train that are Moms to Jacksons, ehehehe. Mine is spelt differently though (Jaxson)

Round of applause for your sweet girl!!

guess you guys are going to have to bare with my not so much there in thought brain for a bit. hubby is now on midnights. and im not adjusting very well. sleep is sporatic. and my head is lost in the clouds of what to do. im so used to having the day to do whatever, laundry, cleaning etc. now i feel i have to be quiet. the phone rings im grabbing it.. and considering the new shift came when he had some projects on the go. the house is sorta upside down. im trying to figure out how to work around this schedule. he literally is going to bed when im getting up and visa versa. the boys haven't seen him for more then 30 minutes in 3 days. for my kids that like turning them upside down and telling them to walk. huh what? even with warning they are lost. he's their 'bud'. im not sure how weekends are going to go. he's home in bed at 7 on saturday for the day. wondering if he'll just stay up and have a short nap. i hope we adjust fast. anyway back to the train.

My shoe size is a 9.5

My favourite colour was teal in the winter, but now that it's spring, I think I'm moving into a turquoise phase. :)

Moms/Aunts/Grandmas/Friends of Moms with boys....did you have (or have you seen) themes for a one year old boys birthday party? What was it? Some family members are saying I shouldn't bother with a theme cause he won't remember it/care (party poopers!!!) but I want to do something fun! I can't decide on a theme though and I want to start looking for stuff asap so ideas are welcomed as well

Here is my oldest's 1st

That is awesome. I think it's awesome that my son loves my "squishy belly" lol, and that he wants to have a big bosom like me when he's a big boy (didn't have the heart to explain that being a boy he hopefully won't lol). Doesn't mean I don't sometimes feel like a sausage in clothes ;) but I look around and realize other people probably don't even notice me so who cares!

Your feet size...... size 5 ladies or a size 3/4 boys (saving 1 tax) :biggrin:
your favorite color..... purple

I was going to spell it that way but decided to go with the more traditional way, I wanted him to be able to get stuff with his name on it at the store lol, though with Etsy and stuff now you can get things spelled any way you want. Call it pregnancy hormones at the time lol.

OMGosh that looks like the cake we got our son too
