Job Description

To think that a couple weeks ago I was complaining that I was bored. My kids are getting older and don't need me as much, cleaning and cooking just wasn't cutting it, and Christmas was over and I was bummed about not having any thing to do. So I took on a new job (coaching), got new clients (training), and added them to the things I already do. Today, I was the busiest I have been in a while so when people ask what I do, here's what I think. Interesting question. I do a lot of things. What is most important? Probably being a mother. I thought I would make a list of the job titles that best describe me.

Mother

Wife

Cook

Maid

Personal Trainer

Gymnastics Coach

Dry Cleaner (you know, laundry)

Household Manager

Chauffeur

Shopper: groceries, clothing, new black shoes Belle just has to have, birthday presents, etc.

Appointment maker

Snow remover

School Volunteer

Activity Coordinator

Treasurer/Accountant

That about sums it up. My job is 16 hours long every day except for Sunday's. I sleep about 8 hours a night, but when I wake up I'm on the job until I go to bed. I know most of you out there know exactly what I am talking about. How do we women do it all? Well, when you are getting paid in love, kisses, and hugs it helps. Also, we know that if we don't do it, then it won't get done our way....which is to say the right way. So would I trade my job for a typical 9-5? Not a chance! Do I want a break every now and then? You betcha!

You know you live in Utah if...

Surprising! The shark pictures below are NOT real. They are real pictures but just not what they seem. The first picture is actually two separate pictures cropped together, and the second is a dolphin...not a shark. Still, they are really cool pictures.

Amazing(ly huge, scary, mean) Sharks

Can you believe these creatures? Not only would I wet myself, I would probably faint if I saw this while in the ocean. I love the ocean, and all that lives in it....except for these two creatures. Wow is all I can say because the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. If anything can convince you that being landlocked in Utah it's this!
