Brown Pants

Brown pants how happy you make my day
I put you on and my cares go away
I love your missing buttons
and the way you've started to frey
the holes in your pockets
and your zipper that doesn't stay

Brown pants you've been under two pregnant bellies of mine
maybe a third if there is time
when there is nothing to wear you never let me down
I love you silky softness
the browness that you convey
even though your hem is uneven
I love you anyway

Brown pants someday
you'll be nothing but a string
I will have woren you out till there's nothing left but your label thing
I will have to cut you up and make you something else instead
maybe a nice pillow for my bed

I will love you even though you've changed
I be glad to still have you with me
Brown pants you are all I need

Stand UP.....

Follow me

Follow me across the road, into the street and safely to the other side

Follow me down the sidewalk, pavement wet and cold

Button your jacket, hold my hand, No Mommy I am old

5 is big now, no more monsters under my bed, don't braid my hair

I want it to look like Hannah instead

I don't like my clothes today, I want pretty dresses, rings and shoes

Why can't I dye my hair I told you I big today

I wear your shoes and walk around with my princess crown

I don't want your help I can do it on my own

Night has come and time to sleep, mommy can you sing me to sleep

I want my lamb and my blankie too

Mommy I guess even though I am getting big, I still need you

Choo Chooo all aboard

Before you comment on this understand that this might become your families favorite dinner pretty soon, if things don't start looking up soon with the economy. We will all be on the Dorrito - Ramen train.

ONLY 116 DAYS LEFT

I am kinda freaking out today. We only have 116 days left till the wedding. We haven't even ordered the invites. EEK. I have so much to do and not a lot of time to do it in. I really need to stop going away for the weekends and focus on the things I need to do for the wedding.

Time is running out. I sure wish that my bridal party would offer to help me. I have asked only once for help and I won't ask again. i figure if they have the time they will let me know. I think I need a day for everyone to get together and just help with all the little details of thing, like the menu cards, and the table numbers. I guess I should remember that the wedding isn't about the cake flavor or what type of paper I use for the menu cards, or the flowers, it is about the joining of Shark boy and me under our family's and God's blessing. But still as I know this to be true the world today has made weddings a competition in a way, from bride to bride, year to year. We all try to top one another and out do one another. Why...... we are women..... plain and simple. We like to be the best and have everyone jealous of us. Twisted.... yes.... sick...yes.... will it ever end.... I doubt it. I better high tail it to the paper store tonight after work and make some decisions. Wish me luck.... I need it.

My inner bride - hardly

I went on " The Knot" today and I saw that they had a inner bride application where you could customise a bride to look like you. LOL .... well they didn't have any plus size brides to choose from so I made this one. It was fun, took like 5 minutes but I was disappointed to see that still in the world today, especially the wedding world plus size women are not thought of as beautiful. To me it is important to understand that women in particular don't all want to be a size five on there wedding day. Some women like me are happy as a clam to put on a size 20 bridal gown and strut there fluff done the isle . I don't worry about loosing weight for

' My Big Day' I am confident enough to walk down the isle as beautiful me, size 20, sag, rolls and all. So to the 'Knot Gods' , please try thinking of us confident, beautiful, strong, plus size women next time you make a application for brides. We are not all cookie cut brides like you make us out to be. We are individual people, all colors, shapes and sizes.
