24 Hour Clothes
Nov 3rd
Jackson and I are not on speaking terms right now. I am really lucky to be able to spend a lot more time with my kids than the average working mom which I really think they should appreciate more. Addressing me as “Big Mama” and telling me that my mustache looks nice are not appropriate ways to show that appreciation. And since when does my three year old tell me what to wear to pick him up from school?!
Last night, just as I was drifting off to sleep, he creeped into my room, but instead of his usual top of his lungs request of water or to go potty or anything that would drag me out of my incredibly comfortable bed as soon as I close my eyes, he got distracted.
“You not going to sleep, Mommy” he said.
“Ummm..yes I am, Jackson, go back to bed.”
“You don’t got ‘jamas on.”
“Yes I do. See!” and I pulled back the covers to reveal what my sister once called my “24 hour clothes.” This is where, I guess, it starts to get confusing for a kid.
In utter disgust he exclaimed, “But you weared that at my school!” While it isn’t something I’m proud of it’s something I’m telling myself all Moms go through at some point. I shower daily but lately that’s about the extent of it.
I suppose I can try to spend a little extra time in the morning for my baby boy.
Also it would be a wonderful service to the woman at after school pick up, because if she greets me one more time with “Did you just wake up?” she’s moving right to the top of my list.
