Today is picture day at Gigi’s school.
Let my story be a lesson to all parents who share custody of their kids. You need to communicate!
Gigi’s dad picks her up every other Thursday from school and I do not see her again until I pick her up the following Monday afternoon. Apparently, the school sent home picture day information Thursday. I did not hear about it until I went though her backpack last night. By the time I had a few minutes to sit down and sort through her papers, it was really time for me to get Gigi into bed. Even if I had found a hair salon open, it would have been a rush. I also would have pulled out some of her nicer fall outfits and done some ironing. As it stands, I was lucky to find a new long-sleeve t-shirt and pants set my dad gave her for Christmas last year.
Poor kid. I thought she looked tidy and nice, but she was decidedly more casual than the other kids. The teacher in the room across the hall gave me a knowing look as we walked in this morning and said sympathetically, “for got it was picture day?”
*sigh*
Looking back on my photos from my childhood. The ones where I didn’t get all fancy are the ones I prefer today because they are more timeless looks, in the ones I am fancier for that time frame. I look dumb now because fashion has changed so much.
So, take it as a positive and not a negative.
