Have you ever sat down and figured out just how many jobs you have? Jeff has been gone a lot. It is hunting season...enough said. But, when he isn't hunting, he is at the ice rink with one of our children doing hockey....so that translates into "I never see him". So at dinner the other night...it happened to be one of our "no place to be" nights...Jeff was of course...hunting. Jake said, "Mom...can people have more than one job?" I said, "Sure...I have had more than one job at a time...in fact your dad has had three jobs at one time." He was amazed by that...then it dawned on me. Wait a minute...I have even more than three jobs at one time right now! So...Cam and Jake and I started counting all of the jobs I have. I am sure we missed some, but this is what we came up with:
1. Mom
2. Wife
3. Cow (I am still nursing...that alone is a job)

The BEST and most IMPORTANT things that I do though...is that of being a wife, a mother and a child of God. I am not complaining by any means. Would I appreciate a life with a maid, a cook, etc.? Of course...but I am so thrilled to be the mommy to my four little precious offspring, and being a wife to an incredible man. Nothing is better than the hugs and kisses that those 5 people give me. Now...if I could just give Jeff a little bit of Estrogen so he might help a bit more...or at least see things my way! :-)
