So when I told Eric what I was going to blog about he was like you really are going to tell people that. So I figure I better warn you of the embarassing/scarey visuals I will be painting for you in this blog.
The other night right after I got Griffen to sleep I went downstairs to do some laundry and I threw the clothes I was wearing into the load. I went into our office/gym that totally needs to be redecorated and realized that I have really, really let myself go. I realized this because that room for some weird reason is full of mirrors. One whole wall is mirrors. It has been like that since we bought the house and I find the room too scarey to go into long enough to figure out what to do with it. Sad being that is where I store my eliptical trainer. So Eric was down working in the evil room and I went to say good night to him. I was wearing my garments with a breastfeeding top. I haven't bother to seperate them from the normal tops and when I am grabbing clean clothes out of the basket I just don't care what kind they are. Well on this day Mother Nature had brought be my monthly gift and I had accessorized my Jesus Jammies with a pair a purple panties over the top of the bottoms. For you that don't wear JJ's they often hang low in the croutch area and are not the best support for pads. When I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror I started to laugh because in my off kilter brain I thought I looked like a Mormon Superhero. I wanted to run upstairs and add a oven mitt to the ensemble so that I could finish off my costume. I imagined that my superpower was to save the world one casserole at a time. Then I realized that I don't ever really take casseroles to people. I always think about it when I hear that someone is having a rough time but then I figure I don't want to make the rough time worse by making them eat one of my casseroles. I also thought it was funny because if this Mormon Superhero was to be mass marketed it would have to include an innertube to be worn under the jj's to replicate my belly/butt. It would be just like the six pack abs that come with the real superhero costumes but more realistic for my super mormon charactor. That is when I came back to reality and realized I need to use that eliptical trainer and whip myself into shape. So after I polish off Griffen's halloween candy and watch a few programs I am going to get right on the whole weight loss thing.

You made me laugh hysterically. How I miss you! And I'm sure that anyone would love any type of food you brought them... (It really IS more the thought that counts.)
I hope all is going well in your Super-Mormon-Mommy world.
You are such a riot. I love the mental image you painted for us :) I hate those big mirrors. I always wish they would get rid of them at the gym. I really don't need to see my butt from every possible angle.
I saw your link on five-one-and-a-half's blog --thought I would look and see what you were up to. So your post is crazy funny--I think I wet my JJs. Thanks for the bright spot in my day. BTW, I'm your friends sister-in-law(or your husband's cousin).
I laughed my head off! Thanks for "keeping it real"!
Oh Steph this is great! I've had this comic book image in my head since you posted this and I've also visualizing what a line of MMSHSP (Mormon Mommy Super Hero Support Panties) would look like.
You made my day! Thanks for the laugh and the disturbing, but hilarious, visual image of purple panties over the not-so tighty whiteys. I have to admit that I have purple panties too, which I will now try to avoid wearing on those special days so I won't steal your glory. And by the way, you are fantastic just the way you are.
Steph, we need an update. I haven't had a good laugh in a long time! ;)
