National Boss Day

In honor National Boss' Day I am dedicating this blog to my bosses (my children- of course)

I would like to thank them for providing me with a job that is NEVER ( and I mean EVER) boring!  I have held many jobs in my life, received many paychecks (though I am am sure my husband wishes there were more of those), and performed countless amounts of menial tasks. But this is my favorite job thus far.

OK sure, I get paid in kisses, hugs, and smiles - and when the big bosses (my 4 and 3 year old) feel I have earned a bonus they pay me in a "Mommy, you are the BEST mommy in the world" -ahhh!

But do not assume that I am not held up to regular reviews of my job performance.  Those usually go something like " _____ (fill in blank's) mommy let him do, have, eat, etc."  Or my favorite is "I want Daddy because he does _____ better!"  Those are the moments where you have to sit back in self - reflection and ponder. Or hide in the bathroom with the door locked mumbling to yourself something about needing a vacation, a drink, a hot bath ... you get the picture.  But at those moments, I try to focus on who is the best at kissing boo - boos, story time (I got this one hands down!), being the short-order cook at each meal, making cookies (just ask my 4 year old I can place and bake Pillsbury better than anyone!) and various other skills that I could rattle off  - but why gloat? 

Overall I would say my job is crazy hours, a ton of work, a lot of sleepless nights (thanks in large part to the littlest one), and at times a test in patience.  But I LOVE it! I would not have it any other way... at least 99.9999% of the time :)

So thanks bosses!

P.S. I would have written more, but I only get a 15 minute break every "shift" (I will let you know when and if I ever figure out how long those are supposed to be!)
