Life as a SAHM

While it may seem like adventure and fun all the time around here, it's not really because B has already been working full time for Tin Box. I haven't found a job yet which means I've been spending my days at a stay-at-home-mom. My whole life, I never really thought I would enjoy staying home and not working. I thought that I would need the outside exposure and adult conversation. But now that I'm in it, it's kind of awesome.

Yeah, I certainly miss interacting with people, talking about things other than who likes puppies (FYI, Uncle Craig and Oma do) or the potty chair and oh boy, do I miss time to myself. But this is has been a great opportunity for Kate and I to explore our new city.  So far we've been to the zoo, a baseball game, four parks and the wonderful Fontenelle Forest. An oasis along the Missouri River, it is everything we could possibly want in a nearby nature area--a space dedicated to kids who want to explore, a mile long boardwalk trail and lots and lots of wildlife.

Imagine a little voice whispering, "Mommy, I see a bird."  By bird, she means wild turkey.  No need to whisper sweetheart, but I'm glad you're trying.

 Imagine a little voice yelling, "Mommy! Kate running!"

 Imagine a little voice saying, "Tree is bumpy. Ouch."

 Now imagine silence, because she sort of gets ahead of you here and you have to hunt her down.
