Back in Florida

We landed yesterday morning early, Reese was so great on the plane (even made a friend) which was a relief.  We've spent most of our time at the pool with my Daddy.  Today, we swam then headed to the game.  It was interesting...allow me to elaborate.
First off, it was HOT. Seriously, hot.  So, I'm sweating, playing with Reese in the stands, typical day, when she has a stinky.  Go change the stink.  While we are in the bathroom, this girl starts talking to Reese, being so sweet.  I was so hot that I really didn't pay her attention (heat makes me grumpy).  Then her pretty friends join her at the sink.  Wait, I know these chicks. CMT! They were Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.  Don't judge me, but to me, this was way COOL! I kept my composure (I promise I do get out) and called them out on their celeb status.  I knew their stories.  One had the weight issue (ha, all 110 lbs of her) her rookie year, one was the good dancer, one was the last one to make it last year (I had really rooted for her).  Ha! SO cool!! When I was preggo I seriously watched nothing but DCC and Run's House. Once again, don't judge.  BTW, nothing makes you feel better about yourself preggo than watching chicks in 2 piece leotards with a BMI of 6% being told they're fat.  Seriously.  Not sure why I put myself through that.  We chatted it up in the bathroom and talked NFL dance, I also made sure to throw in that the cute third baseman was taken. (By the way, I imagine this is how I feel when I read someone's blog, that I really don't know...but I know them, right? Now those of you who emailed me feel better, right?) Moving on.
Back in the stands, sweat, more sweat, spilled drinks.  Reese has ANOTHER stinky.  Back to the bathroom.  No celebs this time.
Back to our seats. Hotter.  Pants are sticking to me.  Reese has YET ANOTHER stink.  This time up her back, all over her outfit! This has not happened since she was crawling (on our trip to Nashville, remember that?). Did I mention she pulled out BOTH pigtails and I had NO rubber bands to replace them? Oh yeah, it was nice. I look and there are the pretty cheerleaders, where else?  On the front row staring right at third base! Or as I like to call them "the blonde tan girls who have NOT birthed a child and chairs of the Dallas McPherson fan club.  I had a moment to myself.  I smell, my bra is sweaty, I desperately need a spray tan, my daughter is a not mess and I am on my THIRD POOP of the day. Me and my tide stick had a moment in the bathroom sink, again with no D list celebs.  
How's that for a reality check?  Where does the time go when I was those girls (panthers are just as good as cowboys, right???) relaxing at a game, wondering if my hair is right, my glittery lotion is "glittering too much or just right?," having a snack or drink, enjoying the game, going to the bathroom ALONE, actually knowing if I look "together" minus the poop?
Those days have passed. 
Isn't that great, though?  Life is all about change and becoming who you are. I sure would have never been able to understand how great my life would become. It is a blessing, poop & all. I am a proud mama now of my 3 poop little gal!! 
Sorry, no pics of the girls.  I was going to get one but I really did not think they were ready for the poo. They were all pretty and shiny and poop free. On a side note, they were really sweet & pretty in person!
Hope I made you laugh! Have a great night!

  1. sooo funny. and so true. The difference? They couldn't handle our life style..(thats what I tell myself anyways) and its harder to look as good with a kid, that makes us mommies EXTRA pretty!

  2. Reese likes to poop at soccer fields around cute boys. I know I was there Friday night. Up the back, down the legs, and so and so on. She's the cutest pooper I've ever seen. Found one of her pink bows in my car. I am holding it hostage until you come back to Ga.

  3. Seriously, Jenn, I laughed out loud when you threw in the "D-List" status. Too much!! And, we don't judge, as I think we ALL watch DCC pre-football season. I know their stories, too. Although I probably wouldn't have recognized them :)

    IMO... you are much prettier, and far more talented.

  5. Had a good laugh to end my day! Thanks for the entertainment...that almost matches a chapter of one of Jenny McCarthy's books. Hopefully there will be no poop tomorrow!
