Today I have sunk to a new low. I dropped the boys off at school in my pajamas. If only Stacey and Clinton had seen me, I might have gotten a $5000 wardrobe out of it.

It is Friday. And even though it has been a short week thanks to Family Day, it still has been busy.

I need a nice long shower, but was short of time getting everyone ready.

At first I thought I should throw on yesterday's clothes, and then come home and change. Come on! It isn't that gross. I am in the middle of laundry (story of my life) and the pants that I want to wear today are in the dryer.

Then I thought - why add a step? I have a nice long coat. I was just thinking the other day about how attractive my pajamas are - considering even having an outfit made in the same style that I could lounge around it. (Oh my God - am I actually considering lounge wear? Quick - I need a trip to lululemon to be comfortable and stylish!)

I am thinking of writing a proposal for the school to make every Friday Pajama Day. The kids would love it. And I would gladly pay $1 a child to have 10 extra minutes on a Friday morning. Think of the fundraising possibilities.

So today, maybe for the first time in my adult life, I left the house in my pajamas. I actually convinced Daughter to do the same, so out of the four of us, I only had to get two people dressed.

"Isn't this fun wearing out pajamas outside? And with our coats and boots, no one will know!"

She now wants to wear them all day. I may just let her.

I think I've done that before!

My kids were older though and I was running late for other reasons...They made me park away from the school so none of their friends could see me.

We usually have one pajama day every so often...lounging around in our PJ's watching tv, reading, etc.

Usually it's a day when we don't have be anywhere or see anyone....can't remember the last one I had...hee hee
