Two of my Favorite Movie Quotes...and a Constant Need for Caution

Two of my all time favorite movie quotes come from the movie Princess Diaries (one of my all time favorite movies). Early in the movie as Mia is getting ready for school, she stands in front of her mirror- with her frizzy wild hair, her clunky glasses, her private school plaid skirt uniform on- all a perfect picture of teenage awkwardness and says, 

"As always, THIS is as good as its gonna get." 

I say that to myself nearly every morning as I look in my mirror with my middle aged awkwardness.

Later, after finding out she is a real live princess, she looks at her perfectly-coiffed, elegant, confident Queen of a Grandmother and declares,

"My expectation in life is to be invisible and I'm good at it!"

That one applies to my daily life everyday too! I am not the type to draw attention to myself. I much prefer to fade into the background, especially in crowds or social situations. As a mother, I am pretty good at being invisible too (no one ever seems to notice all the work I do). 😅

Anyway... there IS a point to all this...sort of

A few years ago my daughter found and feel in love with a pair of bright orange Converse All Star shoes at a consignment shop. She bought them on a whim though she didn't need them. As it turns out, they are a size too small for her...so I inherited the super cute, CAUTION cone colored shoes. I don't know that I've worn them before...but today felt like the day....

Not an I-want-to-draw-attention- to-myself day...but an-it-is-Spring-Break-for-my-kids-&-Easter Season-&-a-beautiful-sunny-let's-have-some-fun-pop-of-color-caution-cone-shoes kinda day!

Besides (I don't have a fun movie quote for it) but my life ALWAYS seems to need a little warning about DANGER AHEAD! The state of my house with all the trucks everywhere? A constant around here.
