Ok, but what kind of jeans ARE we supposed to be wearing?? On the hunt for a new style and I feel lost, which feels so wrong because I literally sold jeans at The Gap for two years in college 😂. Also, is it just me or is it really hard to find something without a raw hem?? Like, why? *crisis rant over*
I just shared with a friend that I secretly like to hear when other parents mess up because then I don’t feel so alone. Crushing it alongside of you. Also, VERY fun when my worlds collide-- shoutout to @ElizabethJanuzzi and her wonderful gift of words! 💛
You know I feel like this is 100% something that I would do! 😆 My youngest has Reading Club the next 12 weeks after school, and I’ve literally set an alarm for every. single. one.
I'm halfway through Ken Follett's newest novel, Armor of Light, and it is a delight as always. And tonight I'm making SkinnyTaste's sweet potato beef stew, one of my very favorite winter recipes! 🥰
AHH the horror! This makes me feel better for dropping Chloe off at school in regular clothes last Friday because I thought it was a non-uniform day. It wasn't. She refused to take her coat off at school and her teacher contacted me and asked me to please bring her a change of clothes. SIGH. I'm just right there with you, friend, in the *crushing it* AND in the not having any food even though I'm always grocery shopping. I started wearing my mom's old Wrangler denim midi skirt last year. I love the length of yours!
This is a hilarious story, Ashlee. The kids will probably find it funny one day.
In high school, my parents and I both thought we had off for Columbus Day. Guess who showed up to school the next day and learned that, nope, school was open! 🙋🏼♀️ I’m sure my mom felt like she was crushing it as well.
Thank you for the shout out Ashlee! And I love this, although sorry about the school calendar screw up. Wait until they are in college. They don't go back to school until late January!!!!
If Jill Atogwe says the jean skirt is a go, then I support it 😏😏 but i can’t bring myself to do it, it’s giving conservative bible college vibes 🤣🤣

That denim skirt is so cute, and now I need a Zara shopping date. Also, laughed out loud at the gyno reference.
Oh wow this is like my anxiety dream come to life. Love the humor you found and glad you survived!
This is the way.
Signed, a fellow crushing-it mom who has more stories like this than are quantifiable.
This made me laugh but also stressed me out. You're killing it! You survived. They're back in school! Celebrate all the things.
Oh no i can just imagine the disappointment! 😔🫣 Glad ice cream still makes up for it!
I've been devouring the Thursday murder club series - so good and so fun!
Well this was a delight and much needed laugh. What I’m wearing: joggers from Soma. What I’m reading: Mother Daughter Murder Night. What I’m cooking: beef bourginon (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/beef-bourguignon-recipe-1942045.amp). Just bought my first wide leg denim.
This wins the internet today.

About to start a reread of “Bird by Bird” myself!
Also... the stress! But also the laughter!
