Hot Mess Express.

Some days I amaze myself with my outfits, fresh faces of makeup, cute shoes while being all accessorized and shit.


Other days, like today, saw me wander into my local grocery store in my pajamas, slippers and robe, like a boss.


It's crazy how motherhood can change you like that.


As I was looking for the one item I went in to grab, garbage bags, I nearly wiped out since my slippers have absolutely no traction.


And before you ask, no they aren't UGGS or another brand of slipper designed to be worn outside or even mistaken for a shoe, they are straight up slip-on slippers that were seconds away from receiving bunny ears on the manufacturing line.


The robe more demure since it could pass as a short housecoat, but, nonetheless.


So instead of rushing in and grabbing the one item I needed, the notion seeming far too easy, I meandered around for a bit, just to make sure enough people saw that today, this mama clearly doesn't give a shit.


Have I also forgot to tell you my children are off for the next week?


If anyone sees me in the next few days perusing any given store in my sleepwear, don't call the authorities.


You need to understand that occasionally I become temporarily insane due to the fact that I am a mother.


I am pretty sure all moms out there can relate to this on some level.


And if you can't, God bless you.


And I am being very literal when I say YOU because there is most likely only ONE mother on the entirety of this planet that has never had these thoughts.


And for all those moms facing a week of being home with your children, God Bless and Godspeed.


Xoxo,

C.
