The Grass is Always Greener?

So, this story is for all of the bloggers who are like me and get frustrated with the perfect lives in blogs and in life in general.

Today as I was walking from my car after running errands, a neighbor came out and asked if I was pregnant, I said no and she said "Oh, I have alot of boy clothes that I need to get rid of and I thought you were looking pregnant and I wanted to see if you wanted them." I responded by saying "I'm not now, but I probably will be down the road. Thanks for thinking of me." I told myself not to let it bug me, after all I was wearing a dress. But it does, and here I sit thinking about eating a bag of cheese puffs because I look pregnant anyway.

I write this post for the girls out there that are feeling fat, ugly or are just having a bad day, just remember that it could be worse, someone could have asked if you were pregnant today.

Wow...I can't believe she asked you that!? Sorry, that would have made me pretty upset!

I'm sure she's a sweet person but, come on lady, don't ask the dreaded question everyone hates UNLESS you see a 9 month pregnant woman! Don't feel bad Laura, I doubt she meant it that way, she probably just assumed you're ready for another baby!

I had an almost similar experience the other day. I was out in the street playing with the kids and I looked down at my shirt for some reason and I thought to myself, "Hmm, that looks like a prego bump. I bet if any of the neighbors are watching us out here they are probably wondering if I am having another!" After that I grabbed another soda and a Halloween Oreo and said, "WHATEVER!!" If you want me to put Isaac on that lady to teach her a lesson I will be happy to do so she needs to learn some manners!!

Wow.. I could have been that woman... I was having a yard sale and this lady who had a large belly (I am telling you it looked at least 7 months) was looking at my friends baby stuff... I asked her how far along she was. She replied "Oh, I'm not pregnant- that's my daughter, over there." She pointed to a 2 year old. I could have died right then and there...

WOW, remind me not to run into your neighbors. HAHA. You don't look pregnant. Do they know tina?

So, is this the neighbor that we think might be selling crack out of her condo? Just wondering... I mean, puh-lease.

Oh my gosh that's REDICULOUS!!! I can't believe she didn't cover her tracks at least! She just kept on going!
Crazy.
I am still so fat I really do look pregnant. My vice right now is the 3/$1 cookies at McDonalds. Seriously. Corporate McDonalds is trying to kill us.
