The FRUMP QUEEN CHALLENGE!

I'm wearing gardening clothes as we speak. Doesn't that just say it all. I will probaby shower the dirt and dust off of me at about 2 this afternoon. Then get layer of supper prep all over me for the evening.

And so it happened again. 2 Saturdays ago, DH wakes me up and asks me to help him put up real-estate signs. He was in a rush because it was going to get windier as the day went on and the signs are tall. So I slammed a cup of coffee, threw on old jeans, an old t-shirt, an insulated shirt (windy and cool), and big red rubber gardening shoes (it was muddy), along with yellow leather work gloves and ate a granola bar going out the door. I managed to get the hair in a pony tail and brush my teeth too. We put up signs, then decided to stop at Home depot on the way home to pick up some plumbing parts hubby needed to fix our sprinkler system for the garden. I'm windblown and covered in dust and mud.

You would think I would be safe there, but Nuuuhhhhuuuuhhhhooooo. We run into the wife of the head of our city's development association. She has her hair, make-up and nails perfectly done. Wearing her heels and perfectly pressed clothes...picking out stuff for home remodelling. She didn't even know who I was until she spied my hubby. (SHOOT! If I'd gone wandering instead of helping me, she wouldn't have even known it was me.)

So, we visitted, and as usual, I just looked like a vagabond next to the queen. Don't get me wrong, she is perfectly nice, and not at all rude in any way. This kinda thing just keeps happening to me.

DH and I so rarely go out for a nice dinner or movie. But when we do, you would think that God could have us run into just a couple of people he knows so that they don't all think he married someone who is always covered in mud.

(laughing at my life...and you can laugh with me too if you want. I am just such a poorly written sit-com at times, I think.)

YAY! Today I made it to the orthodontist by 7:50 am with the 3 kids, and I had actually showered (well, the night before to be honest), put on my lips an some liner and hair in a head band. Cute sandals I had forgotten about brown capris and a brick red turtleneck tank.

Honestly, I will probably be back to frump queen by tomorrow.

Wearing cocoa colored painter style shorts and a black tank all day. Hair clipped into a crazy bun on the back (and I think lop-sided by now)....been cooking, cleaning, bathing the dog & washing out the kennel, doing laundry, and packing for an unexpected trip for a funeral all day.

Frumping all the way.

Hoping to make it into the shower in an hour...but I think hubby who is mowing just might beat me to it.

I did brush my teeth and wash my face this morning.
