Get it together woman

So, I took the little one to her day school this morning.

Some days....I can manage to have myself dressed and all sparkly ready for the day when I take her to school.

Today was not one of those days.

I threw on my favorite jeans (the ones I wore yesterday) and a black pullover (imagine that) and my favorite baseball cap. I smeared a little Bobby Brown lip gloss over my lips that are as pale as my skin to make it look like I had some life in me.

So, as I am standing in the hall, I look down and remember we ate Mexican food last night. The refried bean stains on my pants were a clear reminder.

For anyone who has sat next to a toddler eating refried beans....I shouldn't have to say much more.

As I am leaving the building....rushing home to scrub my homely looking self, I see this other Mom.

She is holding hands with another toddler and carrying a 5 month old.

Fully decked out. Perfect jeans, perfect coat, perfect hair and makeup.

Here I am looking like I stepped off the back of a garbage truck. And I am only responsible for one kid.

I bet she got up at 430 am.

Setting an alarm next time.
