Driving, Bras, and a Cat Photo

Sweet Friday, oh how I love thee!  It always feels like such a victory when we make it here!

Peter wanted to drive to school this morning.  He's doing really well with his driving and I'm trying to do better with my not freaking out.  I was a little hesitant because of rush hour but the route to Sarah's school is very straightforward.  However, there are a lot of stop lights and a lot of people rushing to get to work so I was a little nervous. But I'm always a little nervous when he's driving.

I did what I always do and said a prayer for protection and off we went.  And he did great.  HOWEVER, I got yelled at!  We were approaching a stop light and it turned yellow right at that critical moment where you either need to gun it or immediately start applying your brakes.

Peter decided to stop which I think was the right thing to do for him although more experienced drivers would have  gone through.  But my problem was that he did not apply the brakes fast enough or hard enough and at the rate we were going he definitely would have stopped but it would have been in the middle of the intersection.

So I did what any mother would do and I yelled, "STOP! STOP!"  And he stopped and then HE started yelling at ME.  And then Sarah started yelling at him for yelling at me and then we finally made it to school.  I'm not cut out for this and Dan really just needs to get home so he can do all the driving with Peter.

On a completely different note because there is absolutely no way I can segue from Peter driving to this, I went bra shopping last week and as usual nothing fit.  If the cup fit the straps and band were too tight and vice versa.  So I finally did what my Facebook feed suggested and I ordered a bra from Third Love.  

I took their Fit Finder Quiz and came up with the same size I currently wear, paid the bill, and kept my fingers crossed.  The bra arrived quickly and I excitedly put it on.  The cups fit perfectly.  No gaps, not too tight - perfection.  But the straps were tight and the band was too tight around the top of my ribs.  And unfortunately both were maxed out.  I could only make them tighter not looser.

So I went to their website and printed off a label for free shipping back and filled out a questionnaire so they could send a different size. Once the post office alerted them that they had the return, I got another email asking a few more detailed questions about the fit of the bra and I responded. 

Unfortunately their response back was that I needed a bra size that they don't currently make BUT they would pass on this information to their design team and if they ever made a bra that size they would let me know.  And then they processed my refund.

WOMP WOMP WOMP

So it's back to the store to spend hours trying to find a bra that fits.  And by "fits" I mean "fits okay" because I have searched high and low my whole life for a nice-fitting comfortable bra and it doesn't exist for me.  Do any of you have any suggestions?

And with that, I've got some bills to pay and a few things to accomplish around the house before I head back to school to work Teacher Lunch Out.  Our school always closes Catholic Schools Week with a big luncheon for the teachers and the parents take over the classes while it's going on.

Have a great weekend!

And because a blog post without pictures doesn't show up anywhere here's a random and rare photo.  Both cats are actually together and NOT attacking one other.  I had to document this occasion because typically they are fighting like cats and dogs.  However, I'm starting to think we need to change that old adage and just say they are fighting like cats...
