School Picture Day Moments for Moms

So last week was School Picture Day...almost every mom I greeted at school walked in overwhelmed and exhausted, especially if they had a daughter (and it was only 8:15am!).  Almost every conversation was the SAME...(ie, fights over hair, fights over ribbons, time constrainsts, wrong color shirt, and on and on...). 

I, too, was one of those moms...my baby girl almost went to school with the hair in place from the way she woke!  After calmly (not) dropping the kids off, I immediately made my daily am call to my Bestie...we always lament together and of course I shared w/her....and it took us back to our first crazy mom moments years ago - when we use to cry, thinking we were the worst moms ever...now we laugh and are relieved we survived those moments...these now are just a piece of cake moments!

Today I get this lovely text from my Bestie (Auntie J) that reads:

How weird they sent me J's school pix.  After all ur complaining about that morning she came out perfect. Auntie J
