I use my IPad at work to listen to music on Saturdays, when my staff is off and the office is quiet.
It's loaded with the boys' music right now, as they "owned" the IPad for the last year or so.
I just let it play, listening to their playlists.
Then suddenly I have earworms that I don't recognize, like songs from "Annie." I'm dressing for church on Sunday, trying to place, and finish the line from a song,"You're Never Fully Dressed Without A ______."
A bowtie? A pinky toe ring?
As I'm drying my hair, wrapped in a towel, my little boy throws open the bathroom door to show me a smooshed black ant.
Really?! I grumble inside but say, "oh. Cool." And then urge him back out through the door.
My toenail polish smudges when I put on my sandals. I truly feel there's nothing to wear in my clothes closet. I'm headed to a bridal shower after church...I'd like to look clean and pressed.
Instead, I'm simply, as a Boy Mom, Never Fully Dressed.
Later at the shower Sara, the bride to be, agrees to wear a crown of fruit to go with the theme of the party. We battle strong winds to keep the garden tent in place. Our paper plates and napkins blow away; drinks spill.
But still we smile. That's it! The word to the song! "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile."

I love this post. I love "Instead, I'm simply, as a Boy Mom, Never Fully Dressed." So perfect!
