it's just not fair

being the savvy mom/wife/daughter that i am i have realized that shopping for maternity clothes with a 1 year old is just not going to happen. you just can't cruise through the sale racks with someone throwing goldfish, shoes, juice cups and even the clothes that you are already holding at you or on the floor. so, i have taken to online shopping recently looking for the best sales and prices for much needed items. i recently purchased some maternity clothes and undergarments from the gap. love the gap- they can make you feel normal in your clothes when you are about 14 sizes bigger than you should be and some of their patterns are very cute. anyway, i thought it would be nice to have some maternity panties so that i wouldn't have to worry about my coin slot hanging out. has anyone seen maternity panties? i bought medium's (thinking they would correlate with the original sizes) and oh my was i wrong.  i think they could fit a horse- they are ginormous! you should see the package they come in- it's the size of a freezer bag! i made the mistake of holding them up in front of my husband. i'm not sure if he was scared that my ass would fit into them or disgusted that my ass could fit into them. none the less, they are in the wash in hot water so i might shrink them (as i do all of our clothes) and they may fit soon. why do they have to look so scary big- is it to scare us away from doing this again? well, i for one am going to stop looking in the mirror so much. it's just not fair- why do they have to look so scary big and then fit so gosh darn snug?
