…because you never see anyone when you do!
It’s only when you DON’T dress up that you see people. And tons of them. You know…those days when you’re still in your (mismatched) lounge-around pajamas, barefoot, hair in pony-tail, no make up, and baby spit up is kareening down you in a cakey fashion statement kinda way? And then all of those cute baby outfits your son has to wear? Those are hanging out in the dirty clothes hamper while he, instead, is dressed in a borin’ ol’ plain white onesie, complete with red-rimmed eyes from being fussy. Yep. Those are the days when you’re social life kicks it into high gear.
And that’s the way I looked yesterday when all of a sudden, here comes the busiest day in centuries (ok, well, I’m not really centuries old, but you get my drift).
Off the top of my head, we chance encountered 11 people…a great feat for a stay at home mom like myself, with only one newborn child! One of those 11 was a dear old friend from high school whom I hadn’t seen in years. It was her first time meeting Jack-Evan.
I kept relaying in my mind, “Why, oh why didn’t I slip on a pair of jeans? Silly me, I didn’t even brush his hair! Gosh, his onsie is so dirty! Um, is that pizza in my teeth??”
All of it was quite humorous afterwards, especially after realizing (on top of it all) that I had a nice smashing of chocolatesomethinganother stuck on my tushy. 
Yep. Those are the days that go down in the memory book, so the story can be related again and again years later. 
Humorous days like this only add to the depth of life, the richness and fullness we feel about our overall experience. Days like this throw us a curveball and provide us with a needed silly’ness that breaks up the ordinary and dolldrums of basic routine.
…and it makes for nice blogging material too.
(happy weekend, yall)
With all of those things (no makeup, ponytail, spit up, etc), I would have been the most embarrassed about the chocolate on the tushy!
Great blog fodder, indeed! Have a great weekend!
Heather » LOL!!
thanks… hope you have a great one too!!
That was quite interesting, however i often go out not looking so hot.. i always make sure Tyler is dressed nice in case we see someone, but i dont even take the time unless i know im going somewhere i may run into someone!! Dont worry it will probably happen again.. im sure every mommy runs into people when their not dressed in their best!!! It’s a MoMmY thing
