Free to Be

I must admit that I have yet to fully embrace my inner Ugly. I think I must still be a wannabe. Wannabe one of those totally together moms, not that they exist. Anyway, I was just now reminded of my official Ugly status as I knelt down to pray with my kids at bedtime and realized I had a hole in my pants! In my crotch no less! And that's my actual crotch, not the crotch shoes that Owen loves to wear. It's probably been there all day, and did anyone bother to tell me? Anyone? Anyone? NO! Because I'm an Ugly Mom!!!! For further Ugly Mom enlightenment, please read this.

At least you're a cute "ugly mom"
We all have those moments where we say, man, what happened to me? :)

I was an ugly mom before I was a mom so I am fighting the power!
P.S There is no such thing as "ugly mom" especially when the leader of the bunch is Deb Blanchard and the membership consists of YOU, Anna, and Chrysta! Either that, or you all are redefining ugly! (and I like your version better)

You are definately a cute ugly mom, that's for sure.
Sorry that you were wearing pants with a hole in the crocs:) That's just motherhood, I guess. Yesterday Chase was packing up the kids to take them to the store and I had to remind him to put THEIR pants on. Sweet. He's definately an ugly dad.

Sara, here's a story to hopefully make you feel a little better:

Sometimes I get sleepy and take a nap during my plan period, right before period 6. Because of my expanding waistline, it gets uncomfortable having my pants so tight when I lean over to rest my head on my desk while sitting in my chair. So...I just undo the button on my pants. One day last week I took my nap, woke up in time for 6th period and went about 30 minutes into class before one of my students was kind enough to tell me that my pants were unbuttoned, and fly was half way open. Solved the mystery of why everyone was laughing so much that day.

Welcome to the UMC, Alyssa! That's Ugly Mom's Club, for those of you not yet hip with the lingo.

Oh, Lylla. Welcome, welcome.

I would like to say for the record that I was wearing a shirt that was tucked in, so I wasn't exposing anything inappropriate. Thank goodness for that.

I would have told you about the hole. It's part of the Ugly Code. And I agree, someone noticed. That's like I'm expected to believe that NOBODY noticed a big, white tag sticking out of my crack when my pants were on inside-out? Right.
