Now that I have the opportunity to take my 6 year old to school in the morning, I thought I would incorporate a little exercise with it. The school is less than a mile away, the weather is nice and Gracie loves riding her scooter. So I have been gearing up in my most modest running shorts and long sleeve shirts to run along side her. It's a great way to start the day and I hope it is building some great memories for her.
So what is there to talk about... the other Moms I see at school, in their workout clothes. Mind you, they have driven their kids to school and walk them to the playground. I understand they may be heading straight for the gym after drop off, and I commend them for that. It's the outfits I am struggling with... their are 2 Moms in particular that have caught my eye, my husband's eye and my friend's eye and God knows how many other parents and childrens eye. I'm telling you, this is quite the sight! I will refer to them as Mom #1 and #2.
Mom#1 - really needs someone to sit her down and explain to her - spandex biker shorts DO come in a larger size. It's not that she is that large of a women, it's just the way they fit. I am here to say - the SHORTS ARE WAY TO TIGHT. (especially in the front, if you know what I mean)
Mom #2 - last year she got a new set of twins, no... NOT children. She is quite proud of her purchase and likes to wear a very small sports bra EVERY morning. Like the spandex of Mom #1, she needs to understand sports bras do come in larger sizes. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her new enhancement, I just don't have the need to see 80% of the twins that early in the morning.
These Moms are giving us hard working, appropriate workout size wearing Moms a bad rap. What can I do but laugh and hope nobody is writing something like this about my attire.
Hooray for Spandex that fits!
