It's busy, man........REAL busy.
SO busy, in fact that today at 2:15.........our scheduled departure time......found me opening up the running dishwasher to retrieve the washing, crock- pot innards. With my purse slung over my arm and my big sunglasses aready on my face, I was ripping the skin off of the chicken thighs like some sort of deranged Food Network wannabe. It was really disturbing. And gross.
But, on the bright side, within 4 minutes I had de-skinned a pack of chicken thighs, dumped them into the crockpot and then dumped in tomatoes, jalapenos, black beans,mushrooms, onions , salt, pepper and red wine. I even remembered to turn it on!! Back in the door at 6:00 and wa-lah! I added brown rice, steamed broccoli, and baked multi-grain rolls. So.......ya know....all craziness aside............Yay Me. Super mom slammin the good food on the table.
Now......onto stranger things.
O.K.- On this message board that I frequent, there were some posts about modest swimwear. Now, typically this is a pretty well balanced board. The topic of modesty ran on for awhile and several people thought that they.....the mothers as well as their daughters.....should wear modest swimwear so as not to cause the male population to falter. Here are the swim suits in question:
First of all....I say.......... NO WORRIES. Mission Accomplished.Secondly, Someone please keep a life preserver within reach in case either of these gals accidently falls off that diving board. Seriously.........HOW could you SWIM in that????
HOW??? You'd sink like a rock. Or be tangled like some poor dolphin in a fishermans net.
Save your $$ and swim in your clothes. You'll attract less attention and it'd be cheaper.
Hey, how about this one?
What the hell is that??? What's that you see out there Sylvia?
I think I'm gonna go with something from Athleta. Different strokes, I guess.
And at almost 39, if I can make men think of anything other than gouging their eyes out......... Well then, good on me.
Cheers!

I'm seriously trying not to laugh and fall out of my chair. I have seen these befoe and "know" people who would never wear something as "inapporpriate" as swmwear in front of males. I am not one to dash their beliefs at all. I fully respect them and their right to believe what they believe. But they would be so messed up if they saw me in my bikini on the beach having a cocktail.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! There are just too many comments. I can't decide. Just too, too many!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!
I'm with Emily -- where to begin!? First, you ARE the SuperMom. If you can slam the good food on the table and look good doing it, then get down with your bad self! Second, have a great time "shocking" the ladies in the aqua-moo-moo's. After all, it ain't braggin' if you can do it!
=-)
LOVED this post!
LMAO Yeah, that's about what I always think when I see those posts. I wore bikinis way back before four children and the stretch marks that accompanied them, and I don't think they were particularly immodest. Whatever floats their boats, but yeah, how the hell are they gonna swim in those getups? And if the part of the point is to not draw undue attention to ourselves, I think they fail miserably. :P
Just fascinating. Am I more amazed by the suits or the fact that you could skin chicken with your purse on your shoulder? Not sure...but thanks for giving us something to think about!!!
