Sooo, I was hanging at the pool the other day and this little girls walks up to the edge, sits down, and yanks on a cloth fin, (no monofin in it) and all I could think was..."awweee I want one!" and I realized...I was jealous of a 7 year old. *Facepalm*...I am feeling kind of pathetic LOL.

My hubs got transferred and I had to leave my job, we had to short sale our house so I have No fin funds. I even went so far as to try and sell some of my kids old clothing at a resale store to make some cash...they gave me $2.10. LOL. Waiting will just make the journey sweeter right? Patience...patience...

Awwwwh that sounds adorable! Did you say something to her? "Cute tail" or anything? It wouldve been hard for me not to squeal and go say something dorky to her. I wish there had been a company that produced fabric tails when I was younger sheesh. Dont worry about it, I've also had the rather unbecoming reaction of being jealous over children for various reasons hahaha

Sorry to hear youre in a financial spot right now, I hope youre able to start a mason jar labled "tail fund" soon

I would have said something but that particular child is a witch to the other children and her mother just laughs at it so I didn't want to draw and attention to myself or my kids Least she start bullying my girls.
