When I Grow Up ~

Show & Tell Tuesdays

Linking up with Andrea today...  

 

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a mom.

When I was little, I had baby dolls and played with my kitchen set.
For a minute I wanted to be a teacher, but that thought flew out the window.

All I wanted was to be a mom and wife.

And now I'm half that!

I got married this past September...

And now we've been discussing starting a family...

Once that happens, I'm done working, at least for a while....

 

 

I know I said at some point before that I even wrote it in my elementary school yearbook.

It's the truth though.

Some women can't leave their job, I will have no problem with that.

Some women crave "adult interaction" I'm good on that.

I dunno, just something about being the mom/wife to a baby and husband and that being your sole responsibility totally appeals to me.

I've had so many random jobs in my life, it's kinda crazy actually.

Currently, I work for the special education department of the school district in our town.

I don't love it, but I don't hate it.

It's a paycheck.

I do love all the sweet kids I see every day and my co-worker friends, but the job can go.

So right now I work full time and am a full time wife.

Like most women are in the world....I get that.

It's a lot of work because your work day doesn't stop when you leave work.

House work awaits, and I'm not talking about the cleaning and what not I do on the weekends typically...but all the other stuff.... you all know.

My husband is spoiled, but I choose to spoil him.

Typically a day in my world looks like this:

I get up around 5:00

(Ted is up at 4:40 and in the shower..)

I make his breakfast & pack his lunch (almost everyday)

We chat a little bit while he gets dressed and ready

He leaves for work (5:40ish)

I feed the cats and let Jake out/in

I put my lunch together if I didn't do it earlier

I get in the shower...then get ready (makeup/hair/dressed)

I give Jake a cookie and grab my stuff and head out (6:35)

I work from 6:55am-3:00pm

After work I head home to get dinner together, sometimes I have to stop at the grocery store, sometimes I go on my lunch break if I need to grab something.

Ted gets home at 4:00

We chat a little, then usually eat around 5:00/5:30

We clean up
Then I do laundry or whatever and we watch a little tv or walk Jake or now that it's warm out we do some yard work or hang out in the yard.

Then after I scoop the liter box and get the house situated and Ted locks up and we head to bed. Super glamorous I know.

But that's my life and I love it.

It's a little overwhelming at times because working full time and then having to do all the wife things and house things on top of that gets to be a lot, but I manage it.

 

I'll be happy when I can quit my job.

So anyway.... At almost 33 years, I'm almost where I want to be and where I wanted to be when I "grew up"

 

Life is a pretty crazy ride...

 

See ya tomorrow for WCW :)
