Hot Mess Mom: When ones thoughts or appearance are in a state of disarray but they maintain an undeniable attractiveness or beauty. (urbandictionary.com)

I love that last part; but they maintain an undeniable attractiveness or beauty. But when I think of myself as a hot mess mom, this is what I see:

Drinking coffee until noon
Wearing the same clothes from yesterday that I slept in and still wearing (it’s winter break, no judgement, remember?)
Instead of meal planning creative dinners, I wander down the frozen food section grabbing anything I can throw in the oven for 20 minutes or less (I really am so guilty about this…)
Weekly meals include, chicken nuggets, taquitos, pizza, mac n’cheese, alfredo, sandwiches, left overs, left overs, left overs (this is still true, minus the taquitos, I kind of forgot about those. Going to need to add those back into the rotation. ha!)
I no longer react to my kids screaming my name unless there is blood involved (also still true, but I also ignore texts… unless they’re serious of course)
I rely on reminder texts from all the places I have appointments at
Morning routine includes: “wake up! we’re late! hurry up! why are you still in bed? I woke you up three minutes ago!” (I really am working on this. I wake up at 5 or 5:30 and have to be at work at 8… but some how still end up being late.)
It’s day three of no shower and I use face powder in my part to soak up the grease (Now, I use dry shampoo like a normal person)
No time to look for clean underwear, so I turn it wrong side out (I honestly don’t do this, but it’s funny…)
I sign permission slips, planners, and homework 2.5 seconds before teenager leaves for school

I’m not proud of these 10 Hot Mess Attributes that make me who I am. Some of them genuinely annoy me so I’m working on it. But aren’t we all working on something?

Stay Kind. Love, jes
