So, here I am at home, runnin the show alone. Adam is away "working". I say it that way because he has gotten to go hang out with some of his "people" at a country club in Charlotte NC and now he is in Tampa going to a dinner and movie.
Girls why do men feel that this is work? Meanwhile my day started at 6:45, and more than 12 hours later I know that I have story time, a promised game of Trouble, Scripture reading, and the bedtime routine still ahead of me. When that's done and everyones settled I will finally be able to read my own leisure book. That wont be for another hour to hour and a half.
Now- I don't feel sorry for myself because this has been my life for the last 11 years, since our first child was born. All I'm saying is that my interpretation of work is clearly different from most- meaning my husband and I'm sure a lot of other husbands.
I think also maybe I'm a little envious- envious that Adam has not even once thought of calling since he is so "busy" enjoying himself. How many of us mothers can last 20 minutes away from our babies with out worrying about how they are doing, and if they are safe?
I don't wish for that ability, all I want to know is- am I the only one out there who feels this way?
About Me
- Shannon
- Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!

Are you kidding me? If I were half as organized as you were, maybe I wouldn't feel like my house is falling apart all around me at least 3 times a week!! You should have called me, we could have gone over... scrapbooking tips or something! HAHA!

Just so you know, I am not counting on twins. After the last one, it was all I could do to convince myself that I wanted 1 more, let alone twins. YIKES! Tell your freaking husband to pick up the damn phone! You should get skype on your computers then you can talk over the computer and the kids can see him!
Amen sista!
