If it weren't for them, my fibers would crinkle and shrink, for certain. My daughters taught me how to write text messages (though they poke fun at my proper punctuation). They also make me spend too much money on self-improvement items like bras and mascara. If I don't go along with it, they promise they'll report me to the "What Not to Wear" people. And the other day when the weather broke, my nine-year old had me kicking a football farther than I thought I could. We laughed when I finally collapsed on the trampoline, sore as can be. Not only did my jeans stretch, but my emotions did too. I experienced a feeling I don't want to forget: being with him, out there, doing nothing but having fun. Ahh, if only it could last forever!

I had an hysterectomy in November and still cannot get these jeans to button like they used to! One would assume when you removed everything then the tummy would dip inward..not so, apparently! Great post. Oh, dear, I’m afraid I can identify. I had an hysterectomy in November and still cannot get these jeans to button like they used to!
