The OOTD Pics that Almost Didn't Happen

I think I shared here before that I serve in the Pre-K class at my church a couple Sundays a month. I've been serving there for about a year and a half now. Needless to say that it's been challenging. In a good way, of course. Besides the fact that our children's ministry is always in need of volunteers, the reason I decided to serve that particular age group was to better understand my stepdaughter in her unique age and tendencies. She is 6 now and has since moved on to the Kindergarten class, but I've stuck around to try to further decode the mind of 4 and 5 year olds. I have yet to solve the mystery. 

Pretty sure that's how men feel about us women.

A mystery that will remain confusing forever.

On the Sundays that I work with the kiddos, it takes A LOT for me to put on anything decent. I have to be up early and, frankly, kids don't care about what you're wearing when they decide to wipe their little noses on you. But I compromise and usually come up with something that involves jeans.

When I get home from church, the only thing I want to do is get into something comfy and take a nap. I usually grab my tripod and camera before I head out the door but this particular Sunday I didn't. Which meant that I would have to go home first. When I walked in the door and caught a glimpse of my very comfortable couch, I became really weak. And lost all motivation to go back out and find a nice spot to snap a few pics. I sat down for a second to gather my thoughts. And I decided to compromise...by taking a few pics inside. I don't have a fancy camera so indoor pics are always a challenge. They're always dark and no amount of editing helps. But this day...it didn't matter. 

As my camera is snapping pics, I happened to glance over at the bathroom mirror and decided I needed to smooth out all the frumpy-ness that was going on.

And pull up my britches, for crying out loud.

So here you go. A little dark, but it'll do. ;)
