Well, once again, I was stupid enough to take my five,plus one eight-year old to the Mall. I forgot the stroller, so Autumn was running rampant. I am way to cheap to rent a stroller, so my fault. Just so everyone is clear...It is NOT fun taking a thirteen year old girl to shop for swimsuits. Unless that girl is completely immodest, skanky or has an IQ less than 30. My question for the swimsuit makers of the world - Why do we want our size 7 (girls) on up to be in sexy string bikini's? What is wrong with an old fashioned one piece swimming suit? I had a one-piece Wonder Woman swimsuit that I wore until I was fourteen. I was happy as a clam. Actually, I seem to remember being a little bit embarrassed about wearing it when I was about twelve, but that certainly didn't stop me from schlepping around the pool in it! My point is, you can't even buy a Wonder Woman swimsuit for a fourteen year old! Everything is a string bikini, including the size 7 in the little girls department. No wonder our society is going down hill so fast! No one is modest anymore. At least that's what the retailers of the world want us to believe. OK, step down from soap box.
Anyway, we also went to the mall to but Josh some new shoes. We bought some bright purple Vans for him, but we needed another more practical pair too. What is up with these weird shoes for boys these days? Whatever. I don't care what anyone says about comfort or grip on a deck or anything else. The shoes just suck. Oh, and guess what's back in for girls? Keds! I bought Carley a pair (white of course) for school. I should have kept all of my old shoes.

modesty? what's that? i thought that as long as the clothing item didn't show anything pink or furry it was considered modest. just kidding...... by the way, i look kick ass in a size 7 girls string bikini
sorry my previous comment was a bit pg-13. the "pink or furry" reference was something my jr high gym teacher said to our class one time. in the future i be a little closer to G.
Is that the end of the story, or is there more...????
