Thank you universe

So, I have been lacking in motivation - Seriously Lacking.

Today I had motivation handed to me on a silver platter.

1.  I tried on a swimming suit.  _____________!  (Insert exclamation that conveys shock, dismay revulsion, despair, a nose wrinkle and a heartfelt raspberry.)

2.  Precious child #3(who is 2) told me my tummy looked gross in the swimming suit.  In her defense, it kinda did.

3.  Darling child #2 asked if there was another baby in my tummy.

and perhaps most importantly

4.  Last week a kid (who will remain anonymous) has been talking to child #1 about dieting to get a smaller tummy.  That enrages me!!!!  Child #1 is seven for pete sakes.  We have talked and I don't think the experience was a big deal for her ... this time.  I know the best gift I can give her in this area is an example of how to live healthy.  Having a mother who feels beautiful may be the most potent antidote for skewed body image.

Thank you universe.  I think I can see again.
