I don't know how it happened. And I think I've been in denial.
But it's official.
I'm the mom.
Of 4.
You know how I know it's official? It hit me today as I looked in the mirror...
...Because I look like this:
The mom bob. The mom button-down over t-shirt. The mom expression. The mom flip-flops because she just ran the girls to dance. The mom wrinkles. The mom weight gain.
But I'm learning to be okay with it. Kinda.
Who am I kidding??? I'm just waiting for the What Not to Wear people to barge in and say "your wardrobe says you've just given up!"
And not that I've ever really been a fashionista, but come on. Really??? This is what I'm okay with?
Not for long, my friends. Not. For. Long.
But in the meantime, even though I am less than thrilled with a lot of my "mom-ness", I am over-the-moon happy about being a mom to my amazing kids. And I hope they know that.

At least you walk out of the house all cute! If I walked out half as good as you looked - I might call myself cute!
Love it~ and your kids totally know you love them!
I feel like I've been the mom since before I was a mom, it's trying to figure out how to be okay with that. So when you find out that secret, will you let me know?
Wanna know something even "sadder" than your button down shirt I wore my "mom jeans" the other day, and Jay said that I looked HOT....so not only do I have the "Mom Wardrobe"...I'm being encouraged to stick with it.....not good!!!!
