And that's my Monday-ness. At least for today.

And just for a kick. (In the pants!) I went on Ruthie's field trip several weeks ago and the guy who was telling stories to the kids put a pink dress on a tough boy. Turned out he would be playing the big bad wolf dressed as granny. But he started talking about pink and how there is a stigma for boys and pink. Then he said, and I quote, "I remember having a pink tie that I wore all the time in the 80's. And I was cool!" What do I do?? I laughed out loud. Out loud. Then I realized I was the only one laughing. Because I was the oldest mom there. I lived and breathed and graduated high school in the 80's and guys in pink ties and pink polos with the collar flipped up were cool. My prom date wore a pink tie. So I laughed out loud. But I quickly stopped when the other moms were looking at me.

Like I was crazy.

Or close to 40.

Happy Monday.
