extreme makeover
Well, I swore it would never happen to me, and today it did.
I'm a mess.
Today I was rushing out of the house, as I got onto the freeway I looked in my rearview and realized I hadn't combed my hair. I wondered aloud if I even remembered to brush my teeth. As I neared my exit I realized...I have no idea where I'm going. I didn't have the address of my destination or the phone number.
Sigh.
I admit I was a hater way back when, when my friends with kids would cancel on me, or always be late. I couldn't understand why it was so difficult. Now I get it. Jesus. I fully and completely apoligize to all my friends, who never knew, as I sulked and cringed as 10 minutes passed, then 20, as I cursed their names when they didn't have time to get together. I get it, I get it. Being a mom is tough and it takes up all the energy you have. Even your free time. Just watching tv is hard, just to concentrate and not fall asleep at 8pm!
As far as the not combed hair...I used to pride myself at always being on time and always being well dressed, especially for work. My office was very lax when it came to wardrobe and I always wore office attire, while the rest of 'em tooled around in the most casual of gear. Nowadays I'm lucky if I even remember to wear the same shoes on my feet. Such is life. I must say, my kid is dressed pretty cool though, so I guess that's good enough. I'm only his chauffer anyway!
