This picture is not staged. This morning my stepson’s mother dropped off his suitcase at our house and this is how she found me standing in the driveway. This is exactly what I looked like.
I had just gotten back home from driving my littlest kids to school and she watched me get out of my car.
Getting caught looking like this in my own driveway by my husband's ex-wife is embarrassing but now she knows that I was driving around town like this. And her sister, whom I've been told does not come to the breakfast table without mascara, was with her. They were all dressed up and packed to go on an adventure. "We're going to surprise our Mom for her birthday," she smiled explaining the full car. I could make out a big batch of fresh flowers peeking from the back seat.
I can't manage to get out of my pajamas and she is wearing lipstick and has fresh flowers in the backseat. I know it shouldn't matter but the truth is that people can’t help but judge you by your appearance. Just once before I die I want her to drop by when I look like I have my act together.
Hey thanks for dropping by my blog. Your posts are HILARIOUS! I don't know how you held it together through that whole nipple ordeal! We live one (very small) town away from my husband's ex, and my office is one block from her house. I can hardly stand it...I don't know how you live in the same neighborhood! Looking forward to more posts!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the boots! I think you look adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look just fine to me...and does SHE have a man? sometimes all the make up in the world can't get you happiness ;)
ReplyDeleteBeing real is not the worst thing in the world ya know?
I'm defending this because I think back on how many times do I sit outside my job in the car placing some make up on because I don't think I should subject my co-workers to my no-makeup, hate to brush the crazy curls self.
Those boots are HOTTT!! ;)

ReplyDeleteI think the red cup brings out the cherry 'so what' of the boots.
My dear, departed but not much lamented father use to say...if you have time to put on make-up, you must not have much to do.
LOL.
What's funny is that the dog is perfectly groomed.
At least you weren't naked.
Once...BlackDog got out of the house and I'm trudging up and down the neighborhood in my bathrobe, granny panties, and tennis shoes...my hair is wet. I got out of the shower and realized the fence was open. So I run out.
What you should also know is that there was a foot of snow out.
BlackDog is 14 pounds, nasty tempered, badly balanced dog with a heart condition. SO I'm worried...calling her, calling her.
I finally see her on the neighbor's porch after 20 freezing minutes, she's chomping away on a bowl of kitty chow. The kitty in question is not happy.
I go up the stairs to get her and she darts down the stairs and behind a bush...just as the door opens. I'm on their porch, wet, half naked and leaning over the cat food bowl. The cat is hissing.
BlackDog is gone. I have no proof she lead me up there.
All you can do is smile and wave when crap like this happens and hope they don't call the cops.
Then I see BlackDog sitting in front of my door, waiting to be let in.
I start hurrying up the drive, I hit a patch of ice, my arms wind-mill...I fall against my snow covered car....and roll onto the ground, tits out and robe open.
My neighbors came over and one asked if I was okay.
I didn't know how to answer that question.
LOL.
So it's happened to everyone.
Hey, thanks for following my blog! You're posts are hysterical, girl. Don't let that perfectly make-up'd wench get to ya. The thing that keeps me going when I see people like her is the knowledge that no matter how perfect they seem ... someone, somehwere is still really sick of their shit. ;) Nobody is perfect ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat ensemble! You being you is the best anyone could ask for. Who needs lipstick when they can look adorable in there Pajamas...that's what I'm talkin about...smile!
ReplyDeleteYours in Health,
Robin

ReplyDeleteDenise - I laughed OUT LOUD at this post. But I seriously love your haircut!
ReplyDeletei think all the commenters above said it all--I agree with all of them and I agree with you. I would have stewed on it if it had happened to me. Why? God knows, but I would have. Stupid lipsticked woman.
