The start of another year

If the rest of this year is anything like the last 2 days...we are screwed!! The boys are getting over an obnoxious cold and are severely crabby. I think I was called a "stinkin' mom" 45 times just today. Now with most full-time jobs (although motherhood is more than full-time) I would be considered to have a ton of on the job experience by now. I have been in this position going on over 3.5 years and am able to proficiently handle all of the positions in this "company." I most likely would have been given a promotion by now and in some careers a company car! But I am just a "stinkin' mom" who doesn't fulfill my job duties correctly. Yesterday I wasn't good at anything...breakfast wasn't what the "bosses" wanted and my make-believe and story time were awful but when snack came I probably lost all my acquired 15 min breaks. Secretly I was waiting for my pink slip this morning but I was off the hook. Kaleb came to my bedside at 7:30 am and told me that he turned on the TV and Sponge Bob was on. (He knows he isn't allowed to watch that.) So I thanked him for telling me and went and changed the channel. He then proceeded to tell me that I was his favorite mommy and that he loved me (even though I don't let him watch that show.) That made doing this job (without paid benefits) totally worthwhile! Hearing them tell me they love me and that I am their favorite mommy erases all the "stinkin' moms" forever! I can't wait to see what my job holds for me tomorrow.

Here is a cute pic of the 2 of them one of the times they weren't upset with eachother!
