So I teach English and writing at a small private school. I have a handful of international students who mainly speak French. One of the things I love about teaching the international students is that I get to see how they react to everyday American life. I mean, I already know what most people think about Americans, but I love getting their perspective on things.
While they love us, they think our portion sizes are huge! Many of them have commented on how they couldn’t believe the abundance of food — everywhere, in every corner. So I gave them a nice chuckle, I am sure, this morning.
The thing is, I can get my pants up, right? But the zipper and button part is getting more difficult everyday. I am almost four months pregnant and my body is in a terribly weird stage where I don’t quite look pregnant. I just look a lil’ fluffy. Like I had a few of those Big Macs the international students were giggling about the other day. So when I stopped at CVS to buy a small bottle of hair spray the other day and I was standing in the back of the line, I couldn’t help myself when I noticed these in a 90 percent off bin.
Gosh, I was almost embarrassed when I put them on the counter. Although the package says they are for people who have lost weight and for people who have gained weight, we all know who these are made for. I mean, I have lost my post-baby weight before and I don’t stick a button in my old jeans; I buy sexy new skinny jeans! Right?
So back at the CVS counter, and the cashier was scanning my shiny new As-Seen-on-TV buttons. They were 50 cents! “I’m pregnant,” I announced to her, because you know, I couldn’t have her thinking that instead of getting my out-of-shape butt to the gym, I just buy shiny new buttons. She smiled apathetically. She didn’t care — either way.
At school a few mornings later, I pulled my new purchase out of my mom purse. “Look what I bought!” I said to the kids. They reacted with a chorus of giddy laughter. “Oh my gosh! You bought those?!”But the best moment was when a half-eaten Milky Way fell out of my purse as I pulled those buttons out. I’m sure my international students half-expected that anyway.
But who cares about half-eaten Milky Ways and Big-Mac buttons when the hubby and daughter are gone! They left Tuesday on a fifth-grade field trip to a local camp. I love that they went together because I went on the same field trip when I was in the fifth grade, during a time in my life when having a father by my side was a completely foreign concept. So, that makes me smile. They will be back tomorrow! And I’ll post pics. Good night, Mixed and Happies! Wish my jeans and I luck! — S.
