How Being a Mom is Like Being a Supermodel
1. It’s your job to wake up obscenely early and leave the house without makeup on.
2. When someone dresses you up in a ridiculous outfit you have to convincingly exclaim “This is gorgeous!”
3. Eventually you’ll end up in a photo with your nipple exposed.
4. No matter the runway, you’re either chasing after someone or being closely followed.
5. You never sit down for a meal.
6. Your make-up is applied by small quirky people who prefer to use bright glittery products and have no concept of coloring within the lines.
7. People are always touching your hair, face or clothes without asking first.
8. You’re rarely caught smiling in photos.
9. You think you deserve to get paid a lot more than you do to get out of bed in the morning.
10. Tantrums are just part of the gig.
Just Me & My Playgroup Moms, Hanging Out
What glamour! What class! The similarities are uncanny. And that picture of you and your friends is lovely. A wonderful candid shot if there ever was one!
Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravy recently posted..The Tiny Thumb Theory
My 5yo took that for us with my cell phone.
You are found naked, huddled in a corner with a sad/pained expression on your face.
Love this one!
lol! Exactly.
Funny. True.
But the photo is creeping me out…you know, because it so similar to what I’m doing right now. Just a regular Friday with he moms.

It’s like looking in a mirror, isn’t it?
Snert. Also, no matter how much weight you lose, you could still stand to take a few more pounds off.

You LOOK more glamourous, too!
Wait. You forgot to mention the flawless skin and flat belly. Oh. That’s right.
Allison @ Motherhood, WTF? recently posted..An Existential Freakout
The skin (on the top of my left foot) IS totally flawless. Duh.
hahahah… too funny. And sadly, too true. You look gorgeous in your picture! And from the comments I gather it was taken by your 5 y/o with your iPhone, even more impressed. A photography genius in the making!

We’re all gifted in my house. And humble.
Too funny! I love this list–especially the nipple one. I’m so mature.

Husband’s friend posted a pic of his newborn baby girl on Facebook…without checking the background first. Um…yeah, that’s your wife’s boob, dude.
Too funny! And so true.

Thanks, Cynthia!
supermodels exist on diet soda and cigarettes
replace cigs with pretzel sticks and I’m like a supermodel too…plus all of my exotic travels to schools and malls.

VERY fancy, Lance. I had a feeling you knew how to Work It.
Ahhhh….I remember when we took that photo. I was so hungry.
You really do look fabulous, even though your boob is in my neck.
Ha! Good stuff! I needed a good giggle.
You never sit down for a meal. EXACTLY. Except somehow, I’m not waif-thin.
My friend & I have 6 kids between us, and get together every week for a dinner/playdate at each others’ home. Every week we try to sit down, and it has happened maybe 2x in the past 9 months.
Love this! Needed a laugh today, thanks.

My kids spent years pulling my shirts down when people had cameras nearby. Awesome.
So true. Sometimes the groupies just bring you down. Good thing you have such a supportive playgroup. Ellen

My friends are very supportive. And photogenic.
That post was SO tweet-worthy! LOVED IT!
Jennifer Worrell recently posted..Puking Child Ruins Valentine’s Party
I saw that you shared it – thank you!
You forgot one.
You get unreasonably mad at an incompetent assistant (the husband), throw a tantrum, and chuck a cell phone at his head.
Or maybe that’s just me. Ahem.
Erin @Momfog recently posted..My Brother is Autistic?!
I would love to see my husband’s expression if I called him my assistant. Must try that one out soon.

This is so overwhelming perfect I don’t know what else to say! lol!
“Eventually you’ll end up in a photo with your nipple exposed” Seriously!
