Is it really hopeless?

I recently made a decision that I'm going to try to be one of these put together mommies. You know the type, always stylish, wearing nice clothes, hair done, jewelry, and make up, even if they are just at story time at the library. You'd never catch them out in a stained t-shirt, or even just a plain t-shirt for that matter.

Last weekend I went shopping, I bought 2 button down shirts and one that's a basic shirt, but with gold beading on it, and a couple of cami's. This added to the brown wrap around shirt I bought a week ago, I figure at least I won't need to bring any stained t-shirts to Austin with me. (Don't get me wrong, I still totally expect to turn up on Kami's FUG Thursday after the blowout, who knows maybe I'll learn something, like on "What Not to Wear")

This morning I get #1 off on the bus, get dressed in one of my button down shirts, jeans. I didn't put my boots on because, well, I figure tennies are good enough to do laundry in and I'll change if I leave the house today. I tried to do my hair and it flopped, I tried to do my make up and #2 decided to come and "help". #2 wanted to then wrestle and do our "exercises" (sit ups) together. I'm sure the back of my shirt is now completely wrinkled. I haven't spilled on myself yet, although I haven't eaten lunch or done dishes yet.

Maybe those mommies only wear nice clothes when they actually go out, but how do they have time to go out after doing their hair and makeup? I mean we didn't even make it to the library today. Perhaps I'm just destined to be a stained t-shirt mommy.

Or perhaps it could just be that I woke up late, found #1 naked on his floor cocooned in his blankets because he wet his bed, and #2 while refusing to potty train anymore today had a poopie diaper that he played with and half the poop came out of the diaper and fell into the leg of his pants. It was all over when I discovered it. Yeah that's it. Tomarrow I'll be put together AND make it to the library, I will I will!
