My job?
Hubby asked me the other day what I am going to do when the boys are in school. I had a brief moment of panic! I have no idea! The past two and a half years have consisted of me devoting 110% of all I have to be being a wife and mommy! After thinking about it, being a mommy fills so many jobs! I was thinking about all of the jobs that a mommy does. Please clue me in if I am missing any!
So, in conclusion, I have no idea what I am going to do when they get into school! I do not have the any idea!! I should probably start thinking about that. As sad as it is to me, someday those little buggers are going to grow up!
- Investigator/Detective
- Someone randomly starts to scream and mommy has no idea why. Mommies put on their detective hat and frantically try to figure out what the heck has happened.
- Police Officer
- Sometimes those little suspects run when they realize mommy is on their trail. You must hunt them down.
- Prosecutor/Judge
- After mommy investigates, if there was a "crime" committed, mommy has to play prosecutor and judge and hand down the punishment. Usually a three minute sentence on the wall or probation, where some right is taken away.
- Prison guard
- If the crime warrants serving time on the wall. Mommy has to put on her mean face and guard the wall so no one escapes.
- Parole Board/Parole Officer
- After time is served, mommy must observe the suspect to ensure he is on his best behavior, otherwise, it is back in the slammer. If he behaves, a hug and kiss is in order. I am pretty sure the parole board doesn't hug and kiss, but I couldn't figure out what role that is! :)
- Doctor
- Those little kids fall a lot and sometimes don't make the smartest decisions regarding safety. Usually a band aid a kiss from mommy is in order. Again, I would hope your doctor doesn't hug and kiss, but you get the point.
- Chef
- The only thing that needs to be said here, is I had no idea something so little could eat so much. Where do they put all that food? Oh wait, that brings me to my next job.
- Toxic waste/Bomb Squad
- Do I really need to describe this one?
- Lifeguard
- Mommy must guard them SO MUCH! For example, "Spencer, it probably is not a good idea to put your ride your car off of the kitchen table." or "Spencer, please do not put that in your mouth." or "Spencer, please do not throw that football at Carter, he does not know how to catch yet."
- Housekeeper
- clean the following items, some of them daily: toilets, laundry, counters, carpets, windows, mirrors with little tiny hand prints on them, furniture, pick up toys, pick up toys again, pick up toys yet another time! :)
- Accountant
- Those little buggers cost a lot money!
So, in conclusion, I have no idea what I am going to do when they get into school! I do not have the any idea!! I should probably start thinking about that. As sad as it is to me, someday those little buggers are going to grow up!
I love small town living!
I know I will be harassed by some of my friends and family for writing this post, but I LOVE SMALL TOWN LIVING! I was thinking about this a lot over the past week as hubby and I have talked about some things in our lives. The reason I love small town life? Well, here are a few reasons:
1. If I need milk or eggs or just a general item, I hop in the van, drive six blocks (yes, I could walk, but geez, it is like 30 below here all the time now!), park right in front of the store, leave the van running to keep warm, run in, get greeted by name by everyone in the store, grab my milk, pay for it and be home in less than ten minutes. I love that!
2. Last week, C had his six month check up. It was super cold and hubby was gone for a few days with the Guards and guess what? My darn van didn't want to start. Truth be told, when I realized how blasted cold it was, I didn't really want to start for the day either, it would have been much better to spend the day in bed watching TV, but my kids just wouldn't allow that! :-) Anyway, I called the doctor's office, which it less than six blocks away and told them I needed to reschedule. They said, "Oh, don't worry about it, do you want one of us to come pick you up or help you?" Seriously, only in a small town would the doctor and nurses offer to come pick you up for your appointment.
3. When said van refused to start, I called the town mechanic and he came over to our house, at no charge and worked on it. So nice!
4. I could go on and on, but I won't, because I do that way too much as it is.
I realize that the fast paced city life works for some people, but I am so thankful that I live in a community like the one I do! I really do love it here!

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
You will learn throughout these thirty days the following things about me:
1. I do not know how to count, notice I posted day three before day two.
2. I am very indecisive, even though the whole point of this project is the number ONE, I will almost always have more than one picture on every post.
So, today I could not decide between these two people:
This is my best friend. She is hilarious. We have such a blast together. She is one of the most feisty and hilarious people I know! Note we have kids crawling all over us. We always have kids crawling all over us. Between the two of us, we have two and half more kids since this picture was taken. I just like this picture.
Although I have known her longer than my hubby, I have to include him partly because he puts up with me every day and partly because who knows me better than the man that has to look at me day in and day out? :-) I love that man, he is the best!

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts
1. I have a strange addiction to baby pajamas. It drives my husband insane, but I have to look at pajamas at every single store we go into. Strange, I know.
2. I wear reading glasses. I am getting old. It is very embarrassing to buy reading glasses at my age.
3. I am horribly addicted to Diet 7-up.
4. I wish that Oreos were part of the vegetable food group.
5. I despise cats, not just hate them, despise them. I think they are creepy, smelly and gross.
6. I get really excited to get the mail everyday, then very sad when I see that there is nothing in there that I want.
7. I have started being that annoying person in the grocery store that has a coupon for everything, but can't seem to find it in my purse.
8. I have a fascination with pictures. I take way too many pictures. Sometimes the pictures aren't really of anything. I just like them.
9. My best friend tells me that my stories always involve "crazy hands." Translation: when I really get into telling a story, my hands flail all over the place.
10. I am kind of scared of the dark.
