it's time


you know it's time to go on a diet when the following happens to you:

1. your son's school nurse (who knows you quite well i might add) puts her hand on your belly and asks if another one is coming.

2. the little old lady that you have been helping proclaims: "you don't wear a girdle!" after you stand up.

3. the little bench that you sit on to do some weeding completely breaks when you sit on it. (sorry i neglected to get a photo of the bench.)

#3 happened to patrick, but the first two happened to yours truly! i have gained 20 lbs since last summer, so i probably should start facing this and start dieting and exercising. wish me luck! (and yes, the girdle comment is my favorite one too! hysterical.)

@laurel - i actually do wear a girdle on sunday. there is definitely wisdom in girdles, just not everyday comfort.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
