ok, i was skimming the page about me, & it's kinda true. my family is the most important thing in the world to me, & if i want a job done right i do it myself.

my memory
sux though. also, if one of the kids unloads the dishwasher (for example) & they ask me if they put things back right i always say "if they're not still in the dishwasher, then you did it right".

i always put everything back where it really goes when i find it in the wrong place though. i learned from my own Mom that it sux to do a job & then hear about how wrong you did it. i swore i'd never do that with my kids. i always used to get hassled for hanging up the clothes left handed when i took em out of the dryer. i hated that. i'm left handed, of course i'm gonna hang shirts the left handed way. what's the big deal? they're still hung up.
back when i worked at the shirt factory, i was always the one that got pulled off my regular job to go do a different job if they needed someone in a pinch. they knew i'd always do it right, & if i didn't know something, they knew i'd ask someone instead of just guessing. all the other chicks hated me for it. (except for my buddy Robin)

when i was pregnant, i hardly ever had to do my regular job. (which sucked, btw) then when this other chick got pregnant, & still had to keep doing her regular job, she was so pissed!

it's not my fault that i'm fabulous. suck it up, you big baby.

i like to be a help, but i'm basically a lazy person. if you don't believe me, just take a look at my messy house.

all Moms suffer in silence though. if they don't, they're not doing their job right.

if you didn't, life would be one big fight, & you'd be mad all the time.

if you can't handle being a doormat, don't have kids. that's just the way it is. i mean, they're not gonna grow up & thank you for changing their diapers when they were a baby. it just ain't gonna happen.
although, Nathan did tell me that it was my own fault that he had to go to Austria (& put me through hell worrying about him) cuz i always read to him & made him learn his spelling words.
so see? even when you get thanked, you don't
really get thanked. you just get blamed.

it doesn't bother me at all if my kids, or someone i else i love do things that aren't what most people would consider "normal" though. i kind of prefer it. if my kids were like everybody else's kids, i'd probably be really disappointed. i always liked it when Nathan dyed his hair unusual colours. i thought it was cool. i like that Noah shaves his head. it makes him happy, so it makes me happy. that part was completely wrong.

but you know... you can't put anyone in a box & label it... especially not me.
