Monster Truck Attire

This past Saturday we took R to the Monster Jam truck show. It was my first monster truck experience and I was stumped on what to wear. I figured some plaid would be fitting :)
The show was fun, I was really pulling for the truck called "crushtation" in the shape of a giant crab. Alas, crushtation did not pull it out for me. The next day we headed to a superbowl party. Definitely a "guys" weekend but I realized that I don't need any tea parties, I'll take the monster trucks with my boys any day :)

Underdressed and Unprepared

So I woke up this morning with a sore throat and feeling overall blah. I decided to go for a more casual look, just didn't feel like pulling on tights, dealing with a belt or heels, etc. At around 8:15 my boss pages me. I never get paged unless it's to sign a pre-ob (to be evaluated) so I walked to his office, pen in hand, prepared to sign. Well I was wrong about the pre-ob and instead met my new student teacher. I am totally fine with having a student teacher (this is my 3rd) but some notice would have been, umm, nice. I felt very unprepared and totally underdressed!  I mean I would have thrown on a skirt for the occasion if I knew in advance!
The girl was lovely and reminded me a lot of me when I student taught. She was very nervous but I kept reassuring her that she will be fine. My lovey-dovey kids adore her and she said she had a great 1st day. So I guess my really old, oversized, striped, worn as a maternity shirt back in the day, shirt did not give her a bad impression of me :)
