returning to school this week for a bit of professional development. gearing up for the return of my kinders in just a couple of weeks. had a case of ‘mistaken identity’ this morning that made it clear that i’m getting back into school mode.
reached into my purse, and this is what i expected to put on my lips:
instead, this is what i actually put on my lips:
good thing it is ‘disappearing purple’ color.

I have done that before! It was the roll-on hand sanitizer in my purse that felt just like my lip gloss. Luckily, the smell alerted me before it was actually ON my lips. But yikes! Hope you have a good start back to school!

You are very welcome, and I always say exactly what I mean, unless I am kidding, but on this occasion I am not so there :) Have a lovely evening and enjoy the next two weeks holiday, probably not much of a holiday for you being that moms are always very busy but still I hope that you are having some fun :)
