Mom of the Year?

I just read my sister's blog, and she was talking about letting my nephew eat cookies for breakfast. Well Laura, I don't think anyone will take your "Mommy Button" away for that. I have so many "Mother of the Year" moments, it's hard to remember them all.

Today, Cody took Jake to school and called me not long after.

"Did you know that today is picture day?" he said. I did know, but I had forgotten. Then I remember what Jake had been wearing when he left for school....ratty knit shorts, a sweatshirt that didn't necessarily go with the shorts, and brown church-looking shoes. And you should see his hair! The Wal Mart haircut we got a few weeks ago has not been so good. We can't even get his hair to lay down when it is wet. I did take him some nicer looking clothes to change into, and his sweet teachers at his school said they would find some gel to try to get his hair to stop sticking up (at least long enough for the picture).

Can't wait to see the pictures!

Hey--I forgot picture day last year--so maybe we could be co-moms of the year!

Thanks for sharing. I always forget picture day. My children all have school pics that look terrible. As though my kids are are poster children for Child Welfare Services. :)
