PARENT - Job Description

~ A friend sent this to me and I thought it was cute enough to share. ~




POSITION :

Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop


JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging,
permanent work in an often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication
and organizational skills and be willing to work
variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends
and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required,
including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends
and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina
of a pack mule and be able to go from zero
to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case,
this time, the screams from the backyard
are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,
such as small gadget repair, mysterious ugly sluggish toilets
and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and
coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings
for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be a willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a

Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance
and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,
so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually
exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment i s due when they turn 18 because
of the assumption that college will help them
become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension,
no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and
no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth,
unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life ...
if you play your cards right.



** AND A FOOTNOTE, THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!! **



Larry & I sent our “resume's” in over 2 years ago … we can’t wait to get the call & be accepted for these positions!!!

An Evening at the SPA!

A few weeks ago some girls and I got together at my friend LeeAnn's house for a "spa night". This was such a fun & relaxing evening with the girls. We did facials and pedicures, all the while enjoying some different drinks and girl time! Here are a few pictures from our evening.

Larry thought this would be a great addition to my blog.



Ok, I gotta' admit, it's kinda' funny.

I certainly do enjoy blogging though and love all the people I have met through it! Thanks to everyone for dropping by and leaving such nice comments!

I know I have added a lot of you to Facebook already but just in case anyone wants to add me I have added a profile badge to the sidebar. Thanks to Becky at Chloe Makes 6 for her great instructions. I love getting to know you all better.

Late Vacation Recap

Well I think I am a little late with this post considering our vacation was 2 weeks ago but here it is.

We had a fantastic time in New Brunswick ! There was so much to do that now we need to go back so we can do some of the things that we missed this time. Magnetic Hill and the Magnetic Hill Zoo were the first places we went.





After spending most of the afternoon there we headed to where I had booked us a suite, not realizing it was kinda’ in the middle of nowhere!! Our suite was located in Alma. Alma is a very small village on the edge of Fundy National Park, very beautiful and relaxing but not too much excitement. Now when I say a very small village I mean there was one street and one general store that contained all your survival needs under one roof.

Alma reminded me of a small creepy town out of a horror movie, so our first night there I was pretty freaked out and didn’t get much sleep. (By the way if you are planning a trip that requires you to stay in a suite, motel or hotel…do not watch the movie Vacancy.)

Just incase you are interested this is the trailer for the movie Vacancy. (WARNING this is a Horror / Thriller movie and I don't want to be the cause of anyone having nightmares.)


Even though the town was creepy at night it was beautiful during the day!




Our suite was absolutely perfect!! I was so pleased with our room and service that I would return just because it was so wonderful.





On Wednesday (our 2nd day) we headed to Saint John for some shopping at the Saint John Market, what a great place!!




After a morning of shopping we went to visit Andrea, Mark and Paige. We had a great visit and then we all went out for Chinese food, yummy!! It was such a beautiful evening we chatted in the parking lot for a bit and then Larry and I headed back to Alma.





It was getting late when we left so we ended up driving through Fundy National Park in total darkness!! For any of you that haven't been there or don’t know, these are the signs you see along the road!



Deer are one thing but MOOSE...my nerves were shot by the time we got back to Alma!!!! I was scared to death we were going to hit one but we made it back safe and sound. **Big sigh of relief**

Thursday was our day to check out of our room. Our first stop this morning was Hopewell Rocks I can’t really put into words how awesome this place is, I think the pictures say it all.







Next it was back to Moncton for a little more sightseeing and some shopping at Champlain Place. We actually ended up spending most of the afternoon here because there were so many stores!! Early evening we headed for some supper and got a little lost, for about an hour and a half, lol!! Finally after asking directions we made it to where we wanted to eat which was close to the highway home. Andrea and Mark had invited us to stay at their place for another night but after our long day shopping and getting lost it was time to head for home. We discovered a very important piece of information on this trip … neither one of us can read a map, lol!!



This was a great first vacation and can’t wait until next summer to head out again … I’m thinking Prince Edward Island next year …

5 Months Closer!


As of today our file has been logged in with CCAA (China Center for Adoption Affairs) for 5 months. YAHOO!! Larry and I are going out to celebrate being one more month closer to “Maggie”. I am also going to try to find a gift for my secret pal tonight. I am finding our theme for July difficult. I can’t figure out what to buy, our theme is “Welcome to Canada/new country”. Not sure what I can buy a baby to go along with this theme. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


Well my weekend was great! We all had a fantastic time and the weather was perfect! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.



Can’t wait to do it again girls!!

Mindless Fun

THE DONKEY

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.



He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.



As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.




Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less


NOW --------

Enough of that crap . . .

The donkey later came back, and bit the shit out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
