Those sneakers saved my life!   email this discussion to a friend?

Have you ever had a pair of tennis shoes or sneakers that you just couldn't live without? I have!

About six years ago, I purchased a new pair of sneakers. Very costly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the way they cramped my little toe, so I tossed them in the back of the closet. For three years that pair of sneakers followed me around from home to home.

But, when I got pregnant, and had to throw out my other shoes because they no longer fit, I went back to the sneakers.

Literally, these sneakers saved my life. They turned out to be the only shoes that could support my ever expanding waist line and keep me standing up-right. I tried flip-flops and other casual shoes and almost fell over several times. Without those shoes, I would have been house-bound. And, even after gaining forty five pounds during my pregnancy, I could walk all day, in comfort, as long as I was wearing my favorite sneaks!

It's funny how something so simple as shoes can be your life-line to the world.

Today me and my daughter (now 3 1/2) were digging through the closet and we found those old shoes. And, all the memories came back.

Guess it's time to dust them off and put them back to work again.

Have you ever had a pair of sneakers or tennis shoes like that?

I had a stand on your feet all day job when I was pregnant, and just before, I'd bought a beautiful pair of running shoes that cost a small fortune. I wouldn't even wear them outside, they were so cute! A midwife at my OB's office wrote me a note telling my job I could no longer wear my cute spikey heals at work, and they could do nothing about it if I wore house slippers if I wanted. My cute running shoes were perfect! And even though I worn them everywhere, everyday, I have reinstated the no wearing outside rule. They are precious to me!

I never threw out my cute shoes, couldn't do it, even if I never get to wear them again, they are all mine. But the last pair of shoes I bought that were very much un-mommy like have still never been worn, are still in the box, and I remember that since I couldn't wear them, I took them around to al my friends and showed them off. They're ECKO RED black patent leather boots and they are SO hot! I will wear them, if they're out of style, I will single handedly bring them back in!
