I'm not really sure what to make of this, but it sure as hell doesn't make me happy!

We went to a party on Saturday night, and I felt like the mom in the room. How did that happen? I know what you mean! We went to a party on Saturday night, and I felt like the mom in the room.

I was with my mother. She is only 20 years older than I am, and absolutely radiant. Me? I have HEAD FULL of grey hair. I have eye wrinkles. I am tired, ALL OF THE TIME. And they thought I was a highschool kid. HILARIOUS. And kind of insulting, on some levels, to obviously appear that unsophisticated that day (Or maybe it was just the adult acne). :) So it doesn't really feel great, whichever way it swings. You are you. He probably just meant that you looked like a mom because you might have looked a little tired (from being sick - and what mom doesn't???), and because you were being so low-maintenance, as most mom's insist on being. :) I think you're awesome-sauce either way. Also? I'm catching up on my poor, abandoned reader that I haven't touched in several weeks. So you'll likely received a bunch of comments from me tonight as I catch up. :) I just turned 29 (at the time was 28), and was given the student admission into my sister’s volleyball game.

You were sick and in the comfort zone. But any excuse to update my wardrobe is a good one, so I'm going to go with that too. ;-) You need to be a little easier on yourself!

Just to point out, since we live pretty close, the "mom" uniform around me seems to be lululemons, the name necklaces (disks with your kids names) and a coach purse. So, that's not such a bad look. But, I hear what you're saying. I get the comment at work "what? You have kids?" because I guess I'm a young mom around my office. But, I also think it's because of my actions. So tough. I'm proud to be a mom, but when someone called me a MILF I got pissed . Okay.

I went to my son's high school to retrieve his confiscated cell phone. My son is 15. I, am 31. I brought my brother's girlfriend with me, who is 22. The secretary at the main office looked at me funny when I asked for the Assistant Principal's office - she then responded "your daughter should know where it is". Ahem... this is the same girl that I hang out with at the bar. She's only 9 years younger than me!!!! And yes, I realized that this bitch (I mean secretary) assumed that my 22 year old friend was a high school student, and technically I AM the parent of a high school student. But still. I cried. And I love to get ID'ed at the liquor store or bar, I really do. Anytime after your 23rd birthday it changes from being insulting to being complimentary.
