Back to School

Well it has been a whirlwind two weeks in the Birdsong household. It is back to school time and I was right along side all of the other parents in a frenzied rush to buy school supplies ( we barely made it out alive). Little did I know that this would be the year I would become a "labeled" mom..... My daughter informed me that only a "plain" person would pick a plain notebook and the yellow pencils are "boring". I am too "old" to understand today's fashion. Does plaid really go with stripes now???

So, I am an unfashionable, old, plain, boring mom. When did this happen? Was it while I was asleep or perhaps it was when I blinked because I had something in my eye? Although I don't feel any different now than I did a month ago there has obviously been a change that is quite visible to the 4th grade eye. Now I just have to figure out if I can redeem myself or be destined to embarrass my daughter until she too becomes a "labeled" mom. Is there a special mom trick I can apply? Is this why you see some moms wearing their daughters clothes including mini skirts? Can't say I will resort to that.... I might scare the daylights out of the neighbors.

Anyway, unfashionable, old, plain, boring mom took the customary first day photo.
