I like people that keep it real, yo. You know, those Down to Earth, Laid Back people who aren't afraid to be themselves and embrace (figuratively) who they are. I also love people's different quirks—their "thing," whatever that may be. I appreciate these qualities. Truly.
However, as I was dropping Brinley off at school today I realized something. Yes: it's good to keep it real. And yes: I have a thing (at least as far as the other parent's from the Preschool are concerned) and my thing is: looking like crap. :) Because I literally roll out of bed, then drop Brinley off at Preschool in my gym clothes, intending to go to the gym straight away, but then…hmmm, I find something else to do until 1:00 pm rolls around and yes, I am still in my gym clothes and no I haven't gone yet. And the other Mothers? What about them? Oh yes, well, they are in make-up, dressed for the day, looking fab—when they drop their kids off…at 9:00 am. So I realized there is a point where you're keeping it too real, right? I mean there's keepin' it real…and then there is "keepin it real." Like fo shizzle.
Fortunately, this is what I look like in my gym clothes, so no worries there.

I heart Kristi. Nuff said.
oh man. haven't heard a "nuff said" from HOJO in quite some time. I've missed it:)
See kristi, the thing is, these other, "lesser"...if you will, mothers can't workin' it like you can. They NEED the 3 1/2 lbs of cake-up and snazzy shoes and jewelry to feel better about themselves and so we don't run away screaming in disgusted horror. You, on the other hand are a "natural" beauty. You getting all glammed up just makes it an unfair contest.
I heart kristi:)
Oh man that is so me too. I'm right there with you keeping it real. I think just dropping my child off by 9 a.m. would be an accomplishment.
gym clothes, aka: keeping it real mommy clothes. ; )
You look hot in your gym clothes!!!Me likey!!
I heart Kristi too! At least you have a gym membership. I can't even get myself that far in the game. My after pre-school drop off routine... head srtaight to Sonic for a super sized Diet Dr. Pepper... yes!
You just keep on "keepin it real" Kristy, dear. And don't you dare be ashamed! You're one hot mama, gym clothes or no.
hey, i am wearing pajama pants half the mornings i drop off aubrey(its 8 in the morning and i have to do it every dang morning!). i don't have to get out of the car when i drop her off. someone helps her out or she gets out herself. i just pray every morning i am wearing pj pants that the car doesn't break down or something. that would be a leetle embarassing:)
I think we all heart you for sure! All of the mom's in Kaitlin's preschool are prom queens too. I come rolling up in my bathrobe,curlers in my hair, bunny slippers, and a ciggy hanging out of my mouth.;)
Love the gym pic of you -- you're awesome. Hot.
This is just another reason why we should be friends...I drop my kids off at 8:50, in gym clothes or jammies and then proceed to pick them up at 4:00 in the same wicked outfit!
Tres chic! Now I could be smokin' hot too if I had an outfit like that. And implants...and tummy tuck, butt lift...but I digress.
When I drop off my girl, it's usually in last night’s make-up. I make an effort to wipe away the "raccoon" smudge and call it good. ha!
Do you want to know WHY those other mothers have make-up on? It's because they are on their way to work. You are blessed to stay home with your young 'uns and do you know what they are all thinking about you? "Dang!If I looked that good in my gym clothes, I'd wear them all day!...crap, I wish I didn't have to dress up and go to stupid work"
i hate that girl you have pictured in her gym clothes...clearly she has never had children...
I love that! At least you get dressed in them. That's one step closer than me this week. This getting home later than 10:30pm every night has gotta stop. You'd think I had a secret lover (sing that!)
Your keeping it real attitude will hinder your chances in joining the Stepford wives club..just saying. Hee hee.. :)
Lil' Miss Hottie! Who cares about preschool, aren't we all tryin' to impress everyone at the gym?? Either way I'm in trouble.
I am always taking Stella to preschool in my pajamas or gym clothes. No makeup, smelly breath, leftover zit cream (yeah!), black sunglasses. It's ugly.
Ha ha.. you just decribed me to a tee! Ha ha...
