Did you leave any water in the pool?

So tonight I took Paxon swimming, which we both love. Normally I pay $5.00 for the both of us at the Holiday Inn Express, but tonight there was a new guy, and he thought I was going to pay an extra $5.00 for my infant son, who btw sits on my lap or I'm holding the entire time, so its not like he takes up much room. He tried to tell me "well its $5 per person." I looked at him and mentioned how small this person was and that I've never been charged for him before. After me staring at him like he was absolutely stupid for a minute or so, he finally said OK, and let us go back.


Now this place usually keeps their pool at arctic temperatures. I think the pool itself is even colder than it was outside. Heated pool my butt. Luckily their hot tub is perfect Paxon temp, so that's usually where we hang out. Today must have been "trashy guest day" at the Holiday Inn.

Paxon and I are in there doin our thing, not bugging anybody, in our own little corner just hanging out. Well there is this family in the pool/hot tub too, and they were not the most svelte family, and they had four or five kids, I couldn't keep track of them because they were just everywhere. Their youngest was maybe 5 or 6, and that little brat kept JUMPING INTO THE HOT TUB. Now not only is it maybe three feet deep, but there's quite a few people in there, so he ended up splashing everybody including Paxon. I shook it off because I didn't feel it necessary to slap a strangers child just yet. But then the little sh*t kept doing it, and his parents said nothing! Who raises their children to be so rude these days? Don't people have any class? Finally after me turning my back to this rude child for the third or fourth time, his mother(quite a large woman as well) finally told him to stop, I think me giving her the look of "if you don't put a leash on your child we are going to play see how long it takes for the bubbles to stop".

Now that wasn't the only issue I had with these people. The dad had more hair on his back and chest than he did on his balding head, which by the way had quite a legit comb over, but just in the middle. For some reason, and I really do not want to know why, his wife felt it necessary to run her fingers through his back pubes. It took everything in my power to not vom in my mouth.

So this picture is dedicated to that family, for their rudeness and lack of class. I will award them "Trashy Family of the Week," and will remind you all 'IF THE SWIMSUIT DOESN'T FIT, DON'T WEAR IT!" because nobody wants to see the camel toe, hanger, or wedgie of anybody.



On the plus side tho, we returned home from the pool, and I got to have my favorite part of the day. Taking my nightly shower with Paxon and putting him to bed. He is so cuddly and sweet when he sleeps and some nights I wish I could just cuddle with him all night. But he cant fool me that bad, I know how that kid really likes to sleep. So now I will eat my thin mints, enjoy a few minutes of quiet, and go to bed myself.

Have Milk Will Travel

Number one super power that women have is the ability to lactate!

Let me tell you that tata sauce is some powerful stuff. Not only does it feed your baby, but it has powers of its own!

It helps keep your baby from getting sick by providing important antibodies.

It helps keep your baby from being obese in the future(America, we need all the help we can get)

Baby have a yucky red eye? Give a lil squirt right in there, and bam! Miracle treatment

Baby have a diaper rash? Give a lil squirt and bam! Fixes that too

Newborn have acne? Rub the tata sauce on his cheeks and bam! I think you get it now

 Now here is something that I find ridiculous. Here in the state of Idaho, there is NOT ONE law protecting breastfeeding mothers from the already set in place "public indecency" laws. So what this god forsaken state is telling me is that if someone doesn't like me feeding my son in public, I will be treated the same way as the creeper doing the helicopter with his wiener on the side of the road. How is that OK? Well let me tell you it is not. And that's not just because I know my boobs look way better than that psycho's crotch.

How is it that America has so sexualized boobs? Everyone is all about SAVING THE TATAS and educating people on breast cancer awareness, but has everyone forgotten the importance of the boob? They aren't here for guys to gaze at while we run, they aren't just for using as a shelf(if your like me anyways) , they are to feed our babies! And then hang past our belly buttons, but that's neither here nor there.

I love the fact that I do not have to spend hundreds of dollars on formula. I love the fact that if Paxon is hungry, I can just whip the girls out and give him some lunch. There's no bottles to wash or carry everywhere, granted some days my boobs do feel like an extra ten pounds to carry around. I LOVE the fact that I can wake up looking like my own version of Pamela Anderson or Dolly Parton. Granted I could do without going to bed with boobs like my mothers(love you ma).

So ladies, my point is this, if you have boobs, and they will lactate, allow your baby the pleasure to enjoy the sauce. Because there may not be anything more powerful than the deep connection you can get from having a stare off with your baby while they eat.
