“We’re rollin’ dirty right? LOL, JK. But seriously, we aren’t looking fancy tomorrow are we?”
The night before a brunch playdate and I get this text from one of my besties.
Many kidlettes have already started school but Redondo Beach starts next week, so my family is still in summer mode.
Ha! Rollin’ Dirty… I mean, hells yea I’m rollin’ dirty! My whole existence was just summed up in that one text because I feel like I be rollin’ dirty every day.
Every weekday morning during the school year, I am scrambling to make sure my children have socks and shoes on their feet and they don’t look like they just crawled out of a cave. Some days I don’t even wash my own face until noon. Or ever… I know, gross right?
We all have them. Those girlfriends that have all their shit together. The ones that are perfectly dressed and made up EVERY time you see them. You stop by their house on a whim and they not only look perfect after a 8 hour work day but their house smells of chocolate chip cookies. Ones baked from scratch of course. I envy the shit out of these girls.
Because in my dreams I’m that mom.
If you know me, mornings are my nemesis. It is just who I am. My dear husband accepts it. I feel like a sloth before my first cup of coffee. There are days when my hair doesn’t get brushed until I wash it that night. IF I have time to shampoo at all. These days, a spritz of dry shampoo is like my best friend.
Yoga pants? Not just for yoga class in my daily life. I want to change my ways and be more put together… But, secret revealed: I sometimes wear yoga pants to bed just so I don’t have to change when I drop both kids at two seperate schools located 30 minutes apart. Then straight to… you guessed it! Yoga class and maybe, just maybe one errand before hopping back into the minivan to pick up two kids from afore-mentioned two separate schools and shuttling their little butts to what seems like 500 activities throughout the week. By the time Friday rolls around, I’m beat. I sleep in until the last possible second after my littles have asked me to make breakfast like, 15 times. When will they ever just eat cereal? So yea. I will most definitely be rollin’ dirty.
My life is #rollindirty and I have no shame. When this new school year starts this upcoming Wednesday, will I be ready??? Kind of… Actually, I’m a bit nervous about my older son who will enter First Grade. What? When did he get so big?
So tonight, I’m wearing my “park outfit” to bed and will even sleep in my bra just so I can pick up coffees for my tribe on-the-go before our playdate at the park. I’ll be looking fine in my yoga pants and baseball cap. I’ll be ready to laugh with my best mommy friends and talk about life and how crazy and wonderful it is to be raising our kids the best we can.
Rollin’ Dirty.
