Labels

I love the label I get as a mom of five children. Sometimes when I walk into a store with all of my little monkeys, people look at me funny. I am not mentally ill. People look at me funny all the time. Sometimes I even get nasty looks before 3:00pm when normal kids get out of  "real" school.  I can't tell you how many times I have had, "is this your daycare?" No, they're all mine. -Freak. I don't go out in the public with a long dress, hairy legs, and a cream floral bonnet on. The fact of the matter is, I love my job and I truly believe this is what I was put on earth to do. Nurture these little people. Yes, it is a very thankless job and yes, I do feel like jumping off a bridge and giving up once in a while, but other days I want to take the world on. Some days I even feel as though I do not have enough to do. I'm on a two day rotation here.  Some might call that split personalities.  I call it, mixin' it up a little.
