THE ONGOING ADVENTURES OF A WORKING MOTHER WITH 3 CHILDREN. THESE ARE MY STORIES ABOUT BEING A WIFE, BEING A MOM, BEING THE COOK, BEING THE KEEPER OF THE SCISSORS (YES WE HAVE A SOON-TO-BE BARBER IN THE HOUSE) AND STORIES ABOUT THINGS WE DO AS A FAMILY! I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A FISHBOWL SOMETIMES, JUST SWIMMING IN CIRCLES WITH NO WAY OUT! Remember to check out my tried and true recipes every Friday!

Who Am I?

Lions, Tigers and Boys, Oh My! posted a whole bunch of "Who Am I?" answers on her blog and then asked "who are you?" Since the kids are gone and therefore I lack any real funny stories to share and frankly, I have not had enough coffee this morning to think of anything worthwhile I decided to play along with her!

I
am Mom Is In The Fishbowl

I am a mom that works full time, but make it my daily goal to cook good food for the family and make sure I use every opportunity to help my kids be the best they can be

I am not skinny and toned

I know how to multi-task

I think I want to take a photography class

I don't think I realized how much I would want to shelter my kids from in this big, ugly world. Sometimes I wish I could keep them inside and never let them out!

I want to experience Love everyday

I have an obsession with reading. I have to read in the morning and at night. I even read on my lunch hour at work sometimes.

I like the way my life has turned out so far. Have there been ups and downs? Of course. Have I experienced hardships? Of course. But all-in-all, I am quite content with my life.

I dislike the fact that there is so much wicked in this world

I hate snakes, mice and cleaning toilets

I dream of growing old with my husband

I fear what this world is becoming

I am annoyed when no one else in my home seems bothered by the messes they create and leave behind

I crave Mexican food at least twice a week

I usually wake up early and get some "mommy/me time"

I search for recipes and craft ideas online and in magazines daily (yes, daily!)

I hide my nail polish and makeup from the 4 year old princess living in my house!

I wonder what path my children will choose. Will they be doctors, lawyers or garbage collectors?

I know I can always count on my husband, my mom and my sisters when I need shoulders to cry on.

I just can't help kissing on my kids

I regret not being a better person

I love taking care of my family

I can be perfectly content sitting, reading a book and drinking coffee (or iced tea)

I can't live without flip-flops

I try to not worry about the kids when they aren't sitting right next to me, but this world is big and scary and full of bad things

I enjoy when I get to go out with just "the girls" and have adult conversation without little kids under foot!

I don't care that my husband has put on a little weight, it makes me feel better about my weight gain (and trust me, his weight gain is no where close to my weight gain!! trust me. He still is considered "thin"!)

I always read

I never want to lose my husband or kids before I die

I'd rather be laying on a beach enjoying the sun and having zero cares in the world!

I rely on my husband for a lot

I believe in my kids. I know they can and will do anything their hearts desire as they grow up

I dance ~ um, no I don't. We didn't have a wedding dance for my fear of looking like a total idiot in front of people! Thankyouverymuch!

I sing horribly, but that doesn't stop me from annoying my family with little songs all the time

I argue about silly things sometimes. Then I later look back and wonder why I was so upset about something so insignificant!

I write letters and notes to my kids a lot

I win when I make my family happy

I lose my mind when my family can not seem to get out the door in a timely fashion!

I wish I had more time with family (close relatives and distant ones too) and more flip-flops

I listen to my boys argue and it makes me sad. I wish they would realize now how important family bonds are.

I don't understand vehicles at all. I can put gas in them and that's about it!

I'm scared of snakes and mice

I forget everything ~ if it isn't written on a sticky-note or in my Daytimer then forget it. I won't remember

I am happy when I spend time with family

I totally understand your obsession with reading! I LOVE reading and go crazy if I don't have a book or magazine or newspaper.

That, and not liking the fact that no one else in the family is bothered by their messes. :-)
