Not much happening around thes parts this week. It's been a rainy few days. First rainy day wasn't bad, I put the babe in his crib to play while I sorted through winter/summer clothes. Seems my 4 yr old is finally growing a bit. He finally doesn't fit into 2T clothes anymore and neither does his brother. So I've been getting all the small stuff put away and pulling out some summer clothes. Looks like our boy shorts consist of 2T and 4T, not sure why there's no 3's in there.
Last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" dealt with a huge guy over 600 pounds. He poked fun at himself while the doctors underwent sensitivity training, so they wouldn't be tempted to joke. By the end of the show, Dr. Karev, who happens to be one of my favorite characters, gets the patient to realize that jokes weren't funny and only covering up a very painful reality. Definitely got me thinking about self deprivation. Why is it so easy to be self critical and so hard to accept compliments?
Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy the weekend together with your family.

Maybe the 2T was for one summer & they were 4T the next summer? My girls were different sizes and born in different seasons so some of their clothing missed the next one.
I agree about being self-critical. I'd never be as critical to others as I am to myself. Grrrr.
Enjoy your weekend! I like reading your thoughts!

Me self critical ? Can't imagine lol A lady at work today, told someone, how skinny I was, and I said, well thanks but I am far from skinny! If they could just seen under this shirt!
I've learned to say Thank You when someone offers a compliment. I know I don't like it when I compliment someone and they refuse it.
Self-criticism is a bad habit for me. I wouldn't talk to a friend the way I talk to myself sometimes.
