So, of course, I immediately thought of this post from last year:
Here's a copy [so you don't have to click]:
Back to school - Welcome to the jungle.
8/9/09
Peanut: weren't you supposed to take me school {clothes} shopping today?
Me: Ahh yes! Give me 10 minutes, I'll get dressed.
P: But mom you haven't showered.
Me: this is WHY I work from home.
P: but take your time - we don't have to rush.
Me: Yes, we do. Have to be at post office by 2pm.
P: Can I pick out your outfit?
Me: As long as it's not too fancy - I'm not feeling fancy today.
{I am actually leaving A LOT out!}
P: how about this .....{enter sweet jeans - like that, really ugly green shirt I haven't worn for at least a year, my Harley-Davidson belt {hello U of A college days!!} and ZEBRA 4" heels - I swear they actually can look sweet with the right outfit {just not this one}.
Me: Ummmm remember - I'm not feeling fancy.
P: because you don't have make-up on. Do your make-up I'll be back in 5 minutes.
Me: {Ugggggggggg} ok sweet cheeks.
{ 2 minutes {tops} passes}
P: I said to put on make-up
Me: Ummmm it IS on.
P: uhh ok - take your hair out of a ponytail it looks like you just woke up.
Me: {ouch} I'M KEEPING THE FRIGGIN PONYTAIL - my little angel. ;)
P: really? Do you have to?
Me: yes, have to. okay - get out - I'm getting dressed in this sweet outfit. Be out in a few.
{I open my door - she's standing right there - in the doorway}
P: Mom you are the best. You are ready to go to the mall with ME!
And this is why I wore the "freak show" outfit - she thought I was the most fabulous mom there. The other appropriate mom's there {in their mom jeans and crocs}?
Not so much. ;)

Wish me luck!
She's already asked for these:
Heck, at least I don't have to wear them!
[Top of Utah marathon . . . 52 days!] Yay!
