If I were Chief of Society.....


So this week, I'm filling in for a lady at work. Thus, I'm working all week. Yes, You are reading this right, 5 days this week. That is Monday-Friday 8 am to 4 pm give or take an hour, if I'm lucky. Monday and Tues. my sweet sister tended my little bambino. Then today and until Friday my lovely Mother-in-Law is going to watch after him. I have great people taking care of him and he is fine, but I'm not fine. I can't imagine doing this all the time. I miss him like hot fudge. So I have been thinking, if I were COS (Chief of Society) and I made the rules this is what I would do.
1. It would be standard to work 2 days a week and off 5
2. Kids would have the choice to go to work with parents, grandparents, friends. This way they would be better education and have a better idea about what profession they might like.
3. Gas would be $1.55
4. Water (to water your lawn) would be free and my lawn would be green again.

What would you do if you were COS?

If I were the chief of society I would take the trillions of dollars of grant money and help get our nation back in order. I would raise wages of the medical assistants because I read some where that the pay sucks. (I totally read your blog below). I would have a 24 month paid leave of absence for all pregnant women so that they can be sick, have the baby and then raise it for a year before they ever have to even think of going back to work. And I also would change the law back to "innocent until proven giulty" not "guilty until proven innocent". And problably make pepsi the nations drink of choice :-)! You are a good mom and wife Kandy. I am really proud of you. I love being a mom. I especially did the first year that Drew was a baby.......now days I often say, "I think that I thought that I would like kids more than I do." That is mean, and of course I don't mean it as I don't want my child.....it just gets hard once they learn how to sasssss! I want to be a real estate investor when I grow up. I admire your dedication to school. When I think about going back to school, I throw up a little in my mouth! So good luck with everything and kiss the widdle baby for me. Love ya, Deidra

I vote for you as chief of society! Sounds good to me. I also think there should be private rooms to breast feed in all over the place, grocery stores, malls, walmarts, restaurants...you name it. One time I had to sit on one of three toilets at Ztejas in the gateway and pump breast milk because I had left Ava with my mom that evening so we could go to a concert. The bathroom that night was super busy and women were waiting in line and I had to sit there and pump for fifteen minutes. It sucked. Literally, ha, ha. That is tough to go back full-time for a week! Has Connelly started taking the bottle? First off thanks for the compliment on my blog, that's really sweet. To answer your questions and I am no blogging expert but I always add my pictures to my post first before typing anything then after it has downloaded I will put my cursor right at the top of the post next to the top of the picture and hit enter a couple of times. That should move the picture down and you can scroll up above it now so you can type. Then the Enell sports bra you can find online. I don't think they have it in department stores. But I could be wrong. I got mine off of ebay for half the price of retail. They are $60 regularly. I think you can find the sizing chart off of Enell's official website. The bras come in sizes 1-6 or something strange like that but it all corresponds to your measurements. Mine fits true to size. I really love it, it supports my back so well and the girls aren't going anywhere! I think that is so awesome you are going to school to do ultrasounds! You've got great grades by the way. 3.9 is amazing. Did you and Holly have fun last weekend? Don't worry, no matter what Brig told you it was crazy busy on the lake. Talk to you later!!! Sorry for the long comment.

Bad decision

So I wax. Do you? What do you wax? Well, I wax my body, well my eyebrows and girly mustache, not those other body parts they do in "Brazil." Any who..... Today was the day. I hadn't waxed in FOREVER and so I decided I'd take a stab at it. I have been doing my own waxing since I got married, I use to live with this wonderful girl, Jamie, and she was a professional, but I got it free. The friendly roommate discount. She did great. She would spend a good 20 min. or more and wax, pluck, and make me a new girl with definition on the brow line. Well, at first I was horrible and took forever. However, through the years and trials, I have gotten better....UNTIL today. I decided to do it at the wrong time and that was the start of a horrible ending to this sad story. Why was the timing wrong you ask? Well, Connelly was awake and getting into, on, around, and breaking EVERYTHING he could find in the bathroom. (Basically, he was eating my tampons and opening up maxi pads one by

Found a home

Bell has found a new home. After I put her up for FREE on ksl.com, I got a ton of calls. The first little old lady that came to look at her snatched her right up. I was really surprised because Bell snapped at her right off, but I guess things are going well now. The lady called me later in the day, and said, "thank you, thank you. Bell is the dog I've waited for my whole life." She said that Bell just followed her around all day and the neighborhood kids love her. I'm so relieved.
