Stay at home moms

So it has been a bit since I have posted last and I have been doing nothing! Yep, nothing. I had a week off, no school, no work and I did absolutely nothing. The extent of my day was making dinner, cleaning the house, laundry and making sure Patrick made it to and from school. It was nice at first, but got really boring after awhile. I could never be a stay at home mom, so to all those stay at home moms or aspiring stay at home moms out there, I admire you....
And Rachel, the 8 random things is coming.

Thoughts

After tonight I have only one night left and Soda and then I am on my way home. I am only working half day on Friday so I will be home in the afternoon! I can't wait to go home. I hate to cook and all I want to do is to go home to cook my family dinner. Dinner, where we all have to sit at the table and possible hold a conversation! I miss that! I miss having dinner with my family.
Patrick starts school on Monday, it will be his first day of JR high. I am sort of worried about him and I know Matt is too. It is such a big step, when did my baby become old enough to be in Jr high? I hope he makes lots of good friends, not ones that will be fair weathered or will get him into trouble, some good friends, Friends for life friends. What a tough age, and he has no idea how tough it will be. This is where the actions he chooses will affect him for the rest of his life. He'll be fine right....
I start school a week after Patrick. 9 months and counting. I cannot wait to be done. To take that last final, sell back that last book and get the little piece of paper I have been working so hard to get. Wow that will be the day!

A week to go

Today I found out for sure that I did not get the job. The girl from Monsanto corp got it, after all she did have 5 years of experience behind her.
I have one week left of the internship and then I will be back home and that will be nice. I am about sick of traveling!
Patrick got home yesterday, his dad called to tell me that his brothers have strep throat and Patrick's throat hurt yesterday. Well, I am not home and Matt has never had to deal with something like this. Great time to be gone...........

Mud Puddels and Sunny Yellow Dandelions

Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions

Author Unknown

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away."

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard.
My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on.

When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away.
My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen.
My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.

When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that.
My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy."

When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets.

My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross, and worms to play with.

I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from? No wonder God loves the little children!
Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I wish you Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!

Almost Home

I think Monsanto has made their decision about the job. I have not been told I did not get the job, I have been told they still have to check references. Which tells me that they picked someone else and if her references don't check out they will move down the line to the next candidates. From the little I saw her, they made the right choose. She currently works at Monsanto at a different location and just seemed like a good fit.
I am glad, I was a little stressed about how it was all going to work. I already miss being home more than anything and can't wait to be done with this internship. I miss my house, my bed and my family. I am almost done! I have this week, which I am only working 3 days, and next week. We go pick up Patrick on Sunday so shortly we will all be home!

We are also going to Boise this weekend for a concert. I can hardly wait to just play and have no responsibilities until Sunday!
