"moms don't show belly buttons...!"

Finally, warm weather! These past few days have been absolutely fabulous!

Unfortunately for me, I have gained a couple of pounds (o.k. more like 15 lbs!) this past winter. And now that the weather is warming up, I'm having a hard time fitting into my summer clothes.

When I looked outside the window, I saw people strolling by wearing their shorts, sleeveless shirts or tank tops. Oh... to be able to wear those types of clothes.

As I looked in mirror, I realized how disappointed I am with myself. I'm definitely not comfortable wearing tight clothes.

Yesterday, I put on a tank top under my shirt. It fit way too tight on me (I felt like a balloon ready to burst) and it kept creeping up over my belly button.

My daughter sees this and she says to me, "Mom... (as she's pulling down on my shirt)... Moms don't show belly buttons!"

I went back inside the house and changed to a bigger shirt that covered up everything!
