Oh Yes I am Too!!!!

I just ordered 3 swimsuits, can you believe it? Me, Ms. Lard Butt, with 3 new suits!

I’m excited though, because I didn’t realize they made “swim shorts” to go with “tankini” tops. I hate hate hate the way I look in swimsuits. But I’ve resigned myself this vacation that I will take my kids in the pool, every day. I have bought them new suits, life jackets, kick boards, balls, all kinds of cool stuff. They also each have 3 new rash guards.

I’ve never been one to parade around in a suit, because truth be told, I so don’t have a smoking bod. Never have. But I decided this trip, I was going to take my kids in the pool so they will have fun. Then I thought, heck I’m a 44 year old mother of two…who’s going to care that I have legs like fence-posts??? Seriously dude…I am excited about it. I think it will be great for my knees, and it will keep us all tired and happy on this trip.

I want my kids to have fun, and I don’t want to be the kind of mom that doesn’t do stuff she doesn’t want to do, and then the kids miss out. I remember when I was a kid, you couldn’t keep me out of the pool. I think this is going to be a great time with me and the kids. I think we are going to have a blast. I’m ready.

Kids…3 rash guards each……………..CHECK
Me…..3 new swimsuit/short sets…….CHECK
