Americas next top child model?

So..... should I put my kids into modeling or not? This has been the question for the last 8 years as my oldest daughter's looks stopped strangers on the street at 3 months old. I never really pursued it and regret it now! All that college money collecting interest would be great!

Now some doors seem to be opening again. This might be a once in a lifetime opportunity as who knows how long we'll be in the San Francisco Area. What about the rejection? What about the constant running around? What about my other children? What about the initial expense?

I sure wish there was an easy answer!

Another day in the life of me!

Cleaning is hell. In Hell, I believe that all you do all day and night are clean up after who knows who. Demons perhaps? Clean is a subjective term in itself. What is clean for one person is certainly not clean enough for another. It probably doesn't help that I am married to a man that is reminiscent of the TV character "Monk". Most people who see my home comment on how great it looks even though we have 3 kids even if they drop by unannounced! But my husband who was raised by his Grandmother (they are African American) in Georgia expects me to dance around like "Mr. Clean" all day with a smile on my face like "June Cleaver" and take this huge amount of pride in it. I do not know if it is a cultural thing or what.

Now on the other hand, my pet peeve is punctuality! He is always LATE. I think it is rude and unacceptable.

Unfortunately I doubt that I'll ever be clean enough or he'll ever be punctual enough so we will both have to continue to compromise. This is a lot easier IF you get some help from God by the way!

Good luck and Good bye

This is the day.....

This is the day that I start my 1st BLOG! Kind of crazy that I think I have time for such an indulgence as I am a mother of 3 + 1 husband who works at home, so that makes 4! When I was a teen stranded out in the mountains of Colorado, I wrote short stories and enjoyed it. It passed the hours that ticked away so slowly with only 3 TV channels and a telephone party line. And I don't mean a phone line where people go to pick up on each other and flirt! I mean 4 households shared a phone line!

My daughter says that was in the "olden days"! She is amazed that we even had electricity! Sometimes I look at my husband and 3 kids and am amazed. I don't know where the time has gone? I remember sitting there in my late 20's wondering if I'd ever have a family or kids. Now I am a chunky stay at home Mom with a 3rd grade daughter, 1st grade daughter and an overactive charming preschool son. My husband and I have a very unique relationship that gets even better with time. We married in our 30's and are as different as can be! In every way! I am white, he is black. He is tall (6'4), I am short (5'4). He is a perfectionist, I am laid back. He is
an engineer, I am a crafty Mom. But as I said as time goes by we clash less and make the team I always prayed for. Did I mention that we both love God? We do!

Oh well, I am off to home school my son for a little while. He decided preschool was not for him because the teacher did not floss OR brush her teeth! He also shared that information with everyone in class on multiple occasions! LOL!

Ciao for now!
