Venting....

One thing that gets under my butt is when people look at my son and say he is chubby!!

In my mind, chubby means fat and since I've been bullied my whole life because of my looks, I really hate it when people comment on and like that.

I'm fully aware he will not be 'chubby' forever, and that all babies get chubby.

We went to buy him some clothes yesterday at Wally world, because he is growin fast and is tall for his age. We had to get 24m clothes because of his height and I wanted a bigger size anyway so that he has room to grow into them. The 18m would have been a perfect size but like I said I wanted him to have room to grow so that he can have some clothes for a while. Lady #1 saw me getting some shorts that size and asked how old he was, I replied 6mo and she looked at him and said 'oh wow, chubby boy'. I gave my half assed smile and continued to shop. Once we got to the cashier, she saw the size as well and asked the same question but then asked how much he weighed also. He is only 20lbs....right where he should be, but he is almost 30in long. "Yeah he is a chubby fellow" was her reply. By that time I was starting to get a little annoyed.

Why must people comment on that?! I mean EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT so why do you feel the need to put your two cents in and say that my child is chubby for his age. He carries his fat cells differently just as the rest of us do!! He has a fuller face and fuller thighs, thats all!!!

I know that no one will ever understand why I get so upset with this and I really don't feel the need to further explain my reasoning. But if you have been bullied by "friends" and FAMILY on your weight your whole life maybe you will have a SMALL understanding of why it urks me so much!!

Needless to say, all the clothes have room for him to grow and he should be set for a couple months.

Yeah that was my vent for the day!




On a lighter note, this weekend is going pretty well. Just chill! We plan on firing up the grill later and cooking some food for the rest of next week!

We were able to go to Hobby Lobby (since we don't have a Michael's here) and my 'splurge' was for a Paper Portfolio! I had kept all my scrapping paper together in the sheets you put the pages into the scrapbook. So now all my paper is organized by color and so much easier to access now!



Hubby was able to get some craft supplies to keep him busy at work, and since Dex got new clothes we were blessed enough this month to get those extra things!
Next month we are going up to Waco,TX to visit the Dr.Pepper museum AND maybe go to Peter Piper Pizza! Hahaha yes it is the kid inside me that is jumping up and down!!

I have been really really missing my Grandpa and hope that he knows I'm thinking and praying for him!! I've been having a lot of dreams about him recently and I like waking up smiling because of that! I can't wait to move back to EP so that I can see him every week and he can get to know Dex, sort of!

Well the laundry is calling me...toodles
