Swim Suit Hell

So I signed Lauren up for swim lessons this summer. She is so excited. The best part, Brent and Jill have Lyla in them too, so the girls will be in class together since Lauren doesn't turn 4 till August.

Now the bad news...till they are 4, a parent has to get in the water with them. Ugh....so that means I need a suit. I have not had a suit, let alone wore one since before I was pregnant with Lauren. I was not a fan of them when I was in decent shape. Now with this deflated tire around my middle that I cannot seem to get rid of no matter how many sit ups I do or how many miles I run, I am forced to find the hell that is a swimsuit.

My search has taken forever. This one is too skimpy (holy cow are some of them skimpy), too old lady, too expensive (seriously, $80 for something that has less fabric than my underwear), too ugly, etc. I know I will not look like a Victoria Secret model in a swimsuit and I am not going for that, I just want something that will not make me feel like a manatee. So, I am praying that this suit will do the trick. Thanks Old Navy for making a suit that is not too skimpy, too old lady, too ugly or too expensive. Now if I do not resemble a manatee, I will be one happy customer.
