But then he started to hurt me. Slowly but surly began to stop the flow of blood to my body. I was like a prisoner in my own shoes. I did not feel sexy anymore, but just committed.
Then I was at the store and these babies caught my eye. It was innocent. I had no intention of touching, just looking. But they called to me. I thought what would be the harm of just TRYING them on. I would never leave my three inch heels for these. It was just a moment. Oh, but sweet heaven filled the air. I never realized the joy and pleasure I had been missing. I could not pull myself away. The force was too strong.
I wore these mom shoes right out the door. It was a moment that made tears come to my eyes. I know it was wrong, but I am entering a new season, I needed more. And my three inch heels could not provide it anymore.
I still loved my three inches and always will, but oh when I slipped these mom shoes on, it was like walking on a bed of pillows. Where have they been my whole life? I instantly fell in love. I forgot about my commitment to three inch heels. I slipped that ring off, batted my eyes, and said "Hello Lover-Boy Mom Shoes." Then we ran off into the sunset.
I will never forget the glory days when I use to wear my three inch spike Nine West heels (last week). Those were some good days, great memories, but that season is over. I cannot be emotionally and comfort starved any longer. Oh those precious days of wining and dining were great, but now I long for substance and support. I remember how I could walk three miles uphill both ways in the snow to school in those shoes. And oh how my calves (the ones on my legs, not in the field) were G-E-O-R-G-O-U-S. Now, I don't even shave my legs with my new mom shoes. What is the use?
Next, I will have a mom purse...and mom jeans...Oh how did this happen so quickly? My girlfriends will now look like this...
It is a new era for me. I know the neighbors will talk. But for once, it is time to do something that feels good FOR ME! I will start having a passion for polyester and a lust for Vick's Vapor Rub. I will wear knee highs with short skirts and buy granny panties that I think look sexy.
This is what I looked like this morning before work. What do you think?

I dig it. I am facing reality too, in that time is marching itself right across my face and I no longer pass for my twenties......sigh......so bring on them dang uncool comfy shoes. Cause good feet are happy feet.
Oh my! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time-!! At least not since lunch :) When I scrolled down and saw the picture of your "friends"... I laughed so hard! Now, I couldn't walk two feet in your "old" shoes but the shoes I wear everyday are EXACTLY what you call mom-shoes, only they have the material rubbed off the toes which I've been meaning to fix with a Sharpie marker. But I always thought they were cool. I didn't know they were mom-shoes. That must say something about me. I'll never look at my shoes the same :(
Ack! Your killin' me. ROTFLOL!
Okay, so I have my "mom" shoes on right now, and I don't even have kids. That's kinda scary!
Once you wear the mommy shoes, there is no going back! Except maybe special occasions! OH! Wait! What is a special occasion?
Oh my gosh! I am laughing so hard right now!!!! The entire post is hilarious but when I saw the SNL reference to "Mom Jeans" I about fell out of my chair. Dh and I have cracked up about that skit for years!
Thanks for the smiles this morning. :)
