But I was that way long before I became a mom! He means not quite boring, but not particularly interesting or exciting either. Just... predictable. But, I have to say, my new coral jeans from Gap are not predictable but I love them and so does he. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-50125386113778864942013-04-14T17:20:16.602-04:002013-04-14T17:20:16.602-04:00Shannon,
I just found your blog and I found this...Shannon, <br /><br />I just found your blog and I found this post very refreshing. I graduated from law school in May 2011 and have a clerkship starting in Aug 2013. I am a little apprehensive about taking this clerkship because I am worried that I won't be able to balance motherhood and a legal job. I was wondering if you had any time to chat about why you chose to stay at home? You can email me at tiffany.oatesiv@gmail.com.<br /><br />Thanks so much!!!!!

Let me just say that this post is AWESO...Shannon, <br /><br />Let me just say that this post is AWESOME. And, when my husband gets home I am going to make him read it! Thank-you for being so open, honest and real with your followers.<br /><br />On another note, this past year I feel like I have been taking more from your blog than I have been contributing due to a preoccupation in my personal life(move overseas, return to school, new career path etc.). However, that being said, I still enjoy reading each and every one of your posts and appreciate the humor and wit you bring to very real, every day experiences that many of us mothers can relate to.<br /><br />If you ever do manage to book in that trip "abroad," New Zealand is a lovely place to visit!<br />Jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-41733948421720927382013-04-11T22:06:22.638-04:002013-04-11T22:06:22.638-04:00Puts me in mind of the time my daughter, about 11 ...Puts me in mind of the time my daughter, about 11 at the time, saw me at the kitchen sink, dishelved, hot, splattered with grease and suds, and said "Mom, you look just like the common housewife."<br /><br />For a professional feminist, women's advocate, and generally mouthy person, I was dumbstruck. And not happy, either.Valeriehttp://wiw.motherscenter.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917175986608222742.post-18814921001248536942013-04-11T15:59:41.488-04:002013-04-11T15:59:41.488-04:00I love Reefs.
