I found him, and my life changed. Suddenly my designer shoes and expensive Dolce & Gabana work suits didn’t matter so much. Marriage, children, and the little white picket fence became my priority. I finally became what I always wanted to be; a mom.

However, for some reason, the world didn’t see my new job description as desirable. Friends thought I was crazy for giving up a dream career. As I saw some of my old colleagues on TV, I was shocked that they suddenly lost interest in daily phone calls and updates in my little world.  After all, I was just a “stay at home mom”.

Well I have news for the world.  I am more than just a stay at home mom.  Sure, I went from Nordstroms to Target, full nights sleep to no nights sleep, or designer brands to diaper brands.  But I have more job descriptions to add to my resume.

I am a boo-boo fixer and a tickler.  I am a nightmare comforter and a teacher.  I am a nursery rhyme singer and a macaroni and cheese maker.  I am a taxi driver and a snuggler.

I am a Mother.  And I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world.

If you’ve ever been around me while holding a camera in front of my face, you’ll notice that a simple smile is difficult to pull out of me.  It’s truly an elementary symbol of my immaturity.  And a trait that some of my siblings have as well that have driven my father crazy.  Now, my poor husband and children have the pleasure of putting up with my unusual behaviors.

I usually entertain an erratic dance in the kitchen while my children eat breakfast, just to try to pull out giggles.

I live in my own Broadway play:  I bust out in song at the most unusual times.

I seem to exaggerate my feelings.  “I am so hungry, I might die.” “I am so hot, I might die.” “I am so bored, I might die.”

If I have the opportunity to embarrass my husband in public with abnormal or unpredictable conduct, I take it…willingly.

And of course, who wouldn’t want to pose for the camera while surfing behind the boat.  What makes these pictures even more humorous and humiliating is that my confidence got the best of me.  I crashed entirely too hard while inhaling massive amounts of water through the nostrils.  What a nerd.

Go be unpredictable today my friends and make it a good week!  Happy Monday!
