## Caption

I don't post pretty selfies very often. I've always been pretty self conscious to begin with, but these days I hardly have time to look in a mirror. .
Nearly every day I end up throwing my hair in a chlorinated wet bun and hoping I don't have old mascara smeared under my eyes as I race out the door with three of my own bags, a few kids and all of their bags, napmats and lunches in tow not quite ready to face the world.
.
My daily life doesn't  look pretty or glamorous. It's sweaty, smelly, holes-in-socks, crying-screaming-fighting children, lots of scrambling to get places on time, and just about always wet, dirty hair.
.
But it's also full of other beautiful things... reading books with my kids, playing legos, sing-alongs, swinging, playing chase, snuggling, tucking in and lots of kisses and hugs. .
I do enjoy getting dolled up on occasion, but on the days when I'm not photo ready like this picture, please offer me a little grace because I probably chose to take some extra time for the beautiful things that matter in my life instead of a shower and makeup.
