You Must Have A Lot of Time On Your Hands - Oh No You Didn't Just Say THAT to ME!

Don't you just hate that when people say that to you?

I made homemade cupcakes for my daughter's first day of school this year. I made an extra one for the teacher because I love to brown nose and want to do everything I can to help my kid get A's I wanted to teach my daughter about service and respecting her teachers. Instead of the teacher saying, "Thanks! How sweet!" She replies, "You have way too much time on your hands! I could use your help in my classroom this year!"

Hmmm. Cutting construction paper and sharpening pencils was not what I envisioned doing at my stage of life, but, servant-hood is humbling, so I do what is needed at the expense of paper-cuts and carpel tunnel from the manual pencil sharpener.

So, in case you are wondering what a stay at home mom does all day? I cannot speak for all, but this mom keeps her to do list pretty full. Care to take a glimpse of my to do note for today?

Just because I love facebook and other social online media, doesn't mean that I have too much time on my hands. It just means that I can be efficient. It's called multitasking. Some people call it thriving under pressure.

I call it: Terrified of boredom and resistant to loneliness. It's my life. It's what I do. Welcome.
