The things people say...

So I went to the post office yesterday to get our mail... same routine I carry out almost every day...

I hopped (ok, no one 'hops' at 35 weeks, but you get the idea) out of the car and made my way to the door with a lady about ten steps behind me. She was also headed for the same door. Since I got there first, I figured I'd be nice and hold the door open for her. I'm like that. I hold doors, I get items from the top shelf for ladies in wheel-chair-scooter-things at the store... anyway.

I don't suppose I was really *expecting* a thank-you from her, because that's not why I held the door. I didn't NEED to be thanked, just wanted to be nice... her very NON-thank-you response?

"Gee... you're REALLY waddling!!!"

I caught my TRUE sentiments before they left my lips and smiled... then threw in a blunt, "guess it comes with the territory, hmmmm?"

Seriously? Who SAYS that? Yes, thank you, I KNOW I look like a cow. I KNOW I'm walking funny--and trust me lady, you would be too!!!

I went home and ate cookies. Lots of them. Now THAT is what I call self-medicating.
