My kid told me i act like an animal!!!
The other day as I was taking my daughter to swimming lessons, and it worked out that i had to take the other kids with me as well. My middle child found one of her friends from school there to play with. I didn't think to much of this as I was just happy she wasn't sitting beside me asking "Are we done yet?" This was the day I learned I am no longer cool!
As we were sitting at the pool waiting for my eldest to finish her last swimming lesson, Hailey found a friend to play with. So off they went to run a muck of the place, to play and swinging on things they probably shouldn't. Where was I? sitting at a table scrolling on my phone like any good parent would be. I get up and go to check on them to make sure they aren't destroying the place. The only thing hailey says to me "Mom why do you act like an animal?" Me being me I said "well so do you!" Very mature right! If I hadn't told you who said what you would probably think I was a child too! I defiantly can be, whoever said adulting was fun is big FAT liar! So I go sit back down and they come back into the room to kinda see what I am doing, and my 3 year old is hanging out with me so YYAAAA!! At this point he starts to crying because he wants to play on my phone I say "NO!" and let the crying begin! Hailey's friend looks at Wyatt (the 3 yr old) says "I am embarrassed for you!" It was at this point that I came to a realization. I am not cool anymore. They us to want to hang out with me, now I am the walking embarrassment for them.
So what did I do about this?? The only thing a mature adult and mother would do! I decided to stop dressing like every other mom and buy some clothes I like! Then to top it off I left them in the care of their father to go to a girl friends house where we put pink, purple, and blue in our hair. Well I got pink and purple as I am not a fan of blue but she is so ya know whatever! I don't mean understated pink and purple, i mean hot pink and bright purple! and Yes i did all of this just before easter so that I could rock this look with my very Roman Catholic in law family! It has taken me years to get a point where I couldn't give two fucks what others think. The hardest part was getting to this point in my life where people can talk all they like and I can't be bothered with whatever you normal minds come up with! Personally I think normal is plain and been done so many times! I would rather do me and find friends that aren't normal but nerds and rockers and covered in tattoos! Those are my people! normal is boring Be something no one has ever seen before!! BE YOU!
