So while I was enjoying Saturday mornings ‘high’ I started packing up for a birthday party out at the lake…and what did I do…I decided to pack my two piece bathing suit.
Okay, not a big deal right…I was feeling great, down 5 pounds, and there was no way my kids were going to let me stay out of the water, so why not? Where my mistake lies is in deciding to wear the bikini before considering who else may be invited to this birthday party! So we get to the lake and within minutes my five year old is asking to go swimming. I happily change into my bathing suit and we hit the water. Given we were the first ones there as time passed and more guests arrived I thought for sure more mom’s and dad’s would come join us down in the water.
Here comes my first surprise…none of the other parents brought their bathing suits. They just happily watched there children from the shoreline. So now I am the only adult in a bathing suit and remember I chose to wear my two piece!
Here comes my second surprise…as I am playing in the water with my son I notice some people I recognize out of the corner of my eye. At first I think…no, that can’t be so and so from work…but wait it is…and here I am, yep still in my two piece!
The moral to this story: No matter what, always play with your kids. Never just watch from the sidelines, they grow up too fast for that. And if you are lucky enough that your kids still want to play with you…it doesn’t matter what you wear, they love you anyway!
what you said is so true, spend all the quality time you can with those two precious boys they will be grown up befor eyou know it, Love Mom
