Unless you count last week when he said my new shoes made me look like an old lady! That's the last time I buy shoes from Clarks even if they were only £10 reduced from £39.99! <br /><br />Madison xxxMadisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828849435321727334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-4562798601506309772012-05-01T13:56:03.532+01:002012-05-01T13:56:03.532+01:00laughed out loud! my littest (4) likes to lift up ...laughed out loud! my littest (4) likes to lift up my top and 'wubble' by belly saying that its big and wibbley but if i ask if its too big she says no, its a lovely pillow and kisses it!The undomesticated scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480003512937636535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126878015817020943.post-73012786447128580412012-04-30T23:50:27.702+01:002012-04-30T23:50:27.702+01:00Hellooo lovely lady!

It was gorgeous. Right up to the point where he decided to follow me into the loo every time I needed to go. I couldn't cope with the scrutiny of his gaze round my nethers, and so locked him out. He proceeded to stand outside and scream at the top of his voice "Aunty Em has locked me out of the toilet!!!!!! She won't let me see her big fluff!!!!!!" I still haven't got over it.

Number Two Son once peered very closely at my mum and said "Nanna, what are all those old things on your neck?" Thank god she laughed her head off - her body is utterly "destroyed" by seven children - varicose veins like giant bunches of grapes, boobs to her waist, blah, blah, blah. I've never seen anything like it. But she never refers to her "imperfections" and I wonder how she really felt about her body changes, as she was the tiniest little waif on her wedding day. Maybe I'll ask her one day. As for me, I went through a stage before my marriage break up when I was saving and booked in for a tummy tuck after four babies. I hated the look of all the spare skin, stretch marks and my warped belly button. It's never gonna happen though. I just don't care anymore - The Phoenix tells me everyday that "I'm never out of danger" (of being ravished by him) and he makes me laugh, which I value more than anything. The kids have grown out of poking and prodding me so I guess I have grandchildren to look forward to asking me, "Nonna (that's what I'll be), what are those old things on your neck?" My neck crepe is developing quite nicely so there should be plenty there for them to ogle and gawp at one day:))))).

I mean I know they are not little shits but DAM, that would totally mess with me even if they are just kids with no real idea how sometimes words can hurt. I never even thought about this since I have no children of my own, but if I did I'm sure I would embarrass them to no end with my appearance, it always seems to be something doesn't it!<br /><br />I was happy to share my story with all you wonderful women. I felt like I had too. You are all so sweet and comment on how pretty I look and I felt like I owed it to all of you to share my personal struggle with body image. I think wisdom comes with age and beauty from really loving yourself. I remember in high school a girl with really bad acne, I mean really bad. Funny thing she always had all the attention of the boys because she really thought she was beautiful and carried herself in a way I had never seen from any teen I knew. How did she figure that out so young, I still wonder to this day.<br />I want us all to love ourselves as we are because that is when the real change begins. It starts inside and then other people see it too. <br />Great post darling, and I think you are beautiful dammit!<br />XOXO~<br />KristaKristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350442910321860733noreply@blogger.com
