I’m thinking of making this a regular feature on this blog. Last week I put WordPress 2.1 on notice, and this week it’s Wal-Mart’s lingerie department. Apparently, there are many things ticking me off lately. The trouble might not be coming up with something to bitch about every week, but with only finding ONE THING to bitch about.
To give credit where credit is due, this is Wal-Mart, and they never have had that great a lingerie/sleepwear department. Although it was at Wal-Mart that I found my most favorite of favorite ultra-soft terry plush robe (with POCKETS for pity’s sake!). I also got those totally cute capri-cut sleeveless jammies that I wore in the hospital after I had Liam and they made me feel oh-so girlie. It was also there that I discovered the totally fabulous Fruit of the Loom ultra-soft cotton bikini cut underwear that I love so very, very much. So it’s not like I’ve been let down by them that much before. This department usually comes through for me.
But this is now, and now I need nursing bras.
A year or so ago, I went looking for nursing bras and while they were difficult to locate, I did eventually find them. Not the greatest of selections, but definitely doable. I wasn’t expecting anything grand anyhow. But, since Liam’s birth, I’ve lost some weight and have dropped a band-size or two. I could use a new bra or two (or three). But every time I look at Wal-Mart (because I’m far too cheap to look anywhere else, apparently), I cannot for the life of me FIND THE STINKIN’ NURSING BRAS. A couple months ago they rearranged all the clothing departments and everything in the lingerie department got switched around. I think they thought they were better organizing things, which I guess they were. But ever since I cannot seem to find the freakin’ nursing bras. I think I found them once, only to have them disappear into the void ever since. Yesterday, I wandered around the racks and racks of bras for a good 20 minutes just looking. Because I thought for SURE they’d be there somewhere. After all, a good portion of child-bearing women out there nurse and will need nursing bras so of COURSE Wal-Mart would have them somewhere, wouldn’t they? Apparently not. I did find, interestingly enough, various jewlery. I can only imagine what one is supposed to do with THAT. I also found all the fancy stick ons and whatnot. There was plenty of the “why even bother” type bras. No nursing bras. BAH!
So that’s it, Wal-Mart, your lingerie department is totally on notice. Be advised.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
