One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

How a Working Mom Failed Picture day (#PictureDay)

A picture day from preschool when I had my act together

There was a time when I only had one child and she attended preschool across the street from our home that I had a pristine calendar that I followed. That included noting that picture day was coming up, preparing for it and even going to the school to participate in it.

Well this year, I slipped.

That Time I Forgot Picture Day


I forgot that our son’s picture day was on September 18th. So, he attended school in a t-shirt, in need of a haircut. However, he was of course wearing his ever-present smile. We’ll see how that turns out.

For my daughter’s picture day, I remember to dress her appropriately. I did her hair. She was able to wear it out as opposed to in a ponytail and her face was washed and lip balm was applied! Still, I failed. Why? I forgot to send money for the photos! Oh well, I can take solace in the fact that she will look darn good in the class photo!


Here is a link to a post from Picture Day 2013, I was so good back then!
