Why I Love Sundays

Every other day of the week I bemoan the fact that my children are growing so fast and that they are almost as tall as me.

On Sunday, I put on 3" heels and WHOA!! They shrink. They're incredibly small.

And I am tall and beautifully svelte.

I love it.

So why, you ask, don't I wear heels all week?

Because they &^&!#@$)* hurt!!!

And on Sunday, I spend most of my time sitting.

*sigh* I just love Sundays.

It's difficult to be taken seriously when you tell a kid to do their homework while they're looking down at you.

Just wait, it will happen.; February 22, 2009 at 8:18 PM
