Re: Re: Sincerely stumped/OT What not to wear

[Guest guest]

Hey , thanks for the suggestion. I will definetely check Preschoolians

out as a possibility. Hopefully they will have some cute shoes in extra wide

sizes. Thanks for that suggestion, I hadn't thought of them. =)

Do ya really wanna know how I am doing since what not to wear? Nah, you

probably will regret asking, the whole topic makes me kinda sore! I NEVER wear

any of the clothes. NEVER. Some of them might be okay, but look tacky with my

Nikes! I got tired of the funny looks...Well actually I wore one outfit to

work for a training day..business attire required...I was incredibly over

dressed

and thought I stuck out like a sore thumb.

The biggest bummer is they replaced all my summer clothes with winter ones,

so for summer clothes they told me to wear the short skirts instead of

shorts..it was 70 degrees here on Sunday and I was hot..I was not about to wear

a

skirt to finger paint in the front yard with Kaitlin while my husband washed the

car and sprayed us with the water hose! That would be a strange scene, so I

spent the day in pants paired with one of my hubby's Tshirts! LOL.

I guess I am bitter because the show actually had the nerve to send me a 1099

tax form for $6200.00. Before I went I told them that if I could not afford

a 1099 so if it was necessary to be sent a 1099 I would not go on the

show...It was not an option for me...I can't afford taxes on that much money

after

being out of work for so long before and after Kaitlin was born...But I didn't

get it in writing now did I?

Plus they have a bunch of great and priceless footage that they were supposed

to send me of Kaitlin that was personal and not from the show, but was taken

on their camera when my husband was doing the secret footage of me...have been

promising to send it repeatedly...even so far as to give me a specific date

of Feb 18th the last time...so I watch the mail only to be disapointed and have

been set up to be let down several times since October. I don't know why

they just can't say sorry, we are too lazy to send it to you.

Mostly I still wish I never went. Hate to be so bitter, but I would rather

have the phony imagination about how much fun it would be than the realistic

experience of what a dissapointment it was. Now everytime I see the show or any

reality show, I wonder how happy the " contributors " actually are...remember I

appeared so pleased at the end of my episode. The directors have a way of

motivating people until they get it " right. "

I have been recognized by several strangers though...that is the oddest

thing.. and also had people I work with tell me that they see the episode run

all

the time at like 1 am..kinda odd to think of people I know watching me on tv

like that in the middle of the night.

But on a lighter/happier note Kaitlin is doing awesome and doesn't care what

I wear as long as I let her put her little sticky fingers around my pant

legs...I think that is her new favorite thing to do...tug on my pants!

Thanks again for the suggestion, I will check that out as soon as I send this

email!

,

I just got a pair of shoes from there for Kelsey. They are a little

less expensive than Stride Rite but if you order them on the phone, they

will also sell a pair of shoes in 2 different sizes if you need that to

accomodate feet. They are very soft and they so have a wide variety of

different styles.
