Wrangling a baby on concrete bleachers;
It’s as handy as skiing
and doing your taxes.
Maybe next time some tryptophan turkey?

so this has nothing to do with your current post, but being computer near illiterate, i didn’t figure out how to post it where it belonged.
so i’m in utah right now, and i’m even in utah county and attending church here. so last sunday i decided to look around and actually notice what kind of clothing the women were wearing. no one wore anything particularly fashionable. a couple of the younger gals wore some tops with those modest undershirts, but all the older ladies 40+ looked like they shop at the thrift store or at walmart. there were varying styles but not of them hip.
so i don’t know what all of the comments about utah and utah county and mormons being stylish and judging each other were about. i wore a stained shirt, i didn’t brush my hair cause i ran out of time, and i didn’t put any make up on. i don’t remember if i wore a bra. still about 10 people came and talked to me and gave me hugs, and told me they loved my testimony, and some guy asked if i wanted to have home teachers even though i’ll only be here a couple of months. so where are the judgmental Mormons that you keep talking about????? and where is this dress code to fit in????

Sylwia — did you ever read the blog Seriously, So Blessed? It was a parody of Utah Mormon Mommy blog/lady lifestyle. If you haven’t ever encountered the Barbie Mormon, awesome.
One thing that has surprised me as I get older is that I turn out to have more in common or am able to become friends with ladies who maybe earlier in my life I would’ve assumed were too cool/trendy for me. So yeah — appearance tells us almost nothing about what people are really like inside, right?

Oh, and the comments close after a week now because I was getting so much spam, so that was why you couldn’t comment on the earlier post.
Those gorgeous chubby thighs! And oh, how hard would that be wrangling a wee one who wants to explore, and not watch her big sister swimming (am assuming this ties in to the pics on twitter)
Well, at least if she hits her head on the cement bleachers she’ll pass out and that’s sort of like sleeping, right?
