Day 3, November 3rd, 2011, Wednesday
Today, I'm thankful for chocolate. Today I experienced an embarrassing moment that tops all others. No, I won't expound on that. But chocolate got me through. Hooray for Halloween a few days ago, and the fact that my kids don't care for the chocolate bars. My hips don't like it, but my feminine emotions love it.

Now for the Writer's Prompt from Mamakat!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. You know what causes that, right?(In reference to my "huge" family)
A. No. As a matter of fact, after four children, I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe YOU can answer that question for me?
Q. Were they all planned?
A. Does it matter?
Q. Do you ever want to go back to work?
A. As a matter of fact, I have to go back to work right now. There's laundry to rotate and fold, bathrooms to clean, meals to make, appointments to go to, school volunteer hours to reach, and the list goes on and on.
Q. Since you are home anyway, could you watch my kids for me?
A. Actually, I can't. I have to go to the grocery store, then to the doctor's office, and after that, my kids have homework- I'm sure there's a book report in there that I have to help with, in addition to reading with 3 children and to the fourth. I'm not sure I have time or room for 3 other kids on top of mine.
Q. How long did YOU breastfeed?
A. I didn't. I know. It's the end of the world. If I lived 100 years ago, my baby would die. They'll probably all grow up to be fat, stupid and sick all the time. Oh well. My problem, not yours.
Q. Do they have different dads? (Since my older two are dark of hair, skin and eye, and my younger two are pale skinned, blue eyed and red heads.)
A. No. And again, does it matter? Can I ask YOU a question? Why would anyone ask that to a random person?!

wow you fit a lot into one post!! Book reports are the bane of our existence especially when the kid doesn't actually read the book (and he got a B+ anyway!!)
I liked your answer about going back to work, and I laughed at your answer to nursing! Seriously, people need to mind their own business sometimes! Visiting from Mama Kat's linkup - and thanks for your comment on my post!
I hate the breastfeeding questions. It's nobody's business!
I love the last one. With all the different types of families and the crazy ways genetics work, asking that question or "are they yours" or "are they all yours" is flipping stupid! Actually, I like them all. But that one is so rude!
I've always disliked questions related to breastfeeding (how long're you gonna DO THAT? for instance) or don't you think 3 is enough kids (um, evidently not, b/c we are PLANNING on a 4th). I did giggle at your different dads question, just from the sheer idiocy/boldness of some people.
