FRIDAY CONFESSIONS
Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS
@jackiback Did you really start snapping necks or do you just mean that in a funny kind of way? Or do you mean snap their necks with those old school mouse traps? I'm just having a vision of you and Shawn chasing mice in your house.
LOL! Ok. I got confused, which isn't difficult for me.
You could always get a cat...don't the boys need a pet?
I doubt we'll get any mice this winter because the neighbors upstairs have a cat. H is unaware of the fact that we have a cat living above us and I refuse to tell him because I don't want to deal with the "mysterious increase" in allergy symptoms when he's home now that he knows it's there. Sometimes he'll hear the cat scurrying around upstairs and ask what the hell that was and my answer is always, "Must be one of the kids."
PART 2: We're staying in Brooklyn bc we are planning to move there in April and want to check out the neighborhoods. I'm a bit nervous about the move. I mean, I don't even own a coat. We're definitely "city people" but I just can't wrap my head around living there and how extremely different life will be. This feels way different than when we decided to move to California.
2. Pretty sure the soles of my feet are bruised from all the DC walking I did the past 3 days. Ouchie!
3. I got to see Abraham Lincoln's funeral shroud up close (as in, I could have touched it if I didn't have better training) as well as shoes that were worn during the 1963 March on Washington where the heels had completely disintegrated, items promoting suffrage, Thomas Jefferson's burlap campaign flag, and other campaign paraphernalia that will go on exhibit next year at SI's Museum of American History. Because I've got connections, yo. It. Was. AWESOME!!!
4. I interviewed one of the last remaining Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) on Tuesday. She was incredible. Her uniform is in the Air and Space Museum, too, because she is awesome.
I've had a great week, and I love my job!!
With a shovel.
Yup.

My sweet babies:
my read shelf:
This confession brought to you by this month's cc statement.
my read shelf:
So far it's two school aged children for before and after care and occasionally their older sister when they off school. The amount of days they have off will be a lot pretty soon with the holidays.
Also one 14 month old just learned how to walk. She's cute, but teething and has really bad separation anxiety. Mornings are a nightmare with her.
And I'm about to start watching a 10 month old.
I really don't want to, but we need the money.
And I judge the crap out of the parents of the school aged kids. Seriously judge.
Like, what makes them deserve to be a parent when I'm having so much trouble? That's my confession. I'm a horrible person. I'm helping to raise kids and I'm not enjoying it at all.
Those two are absolute terrors though.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”
