Domestication (not sure if its a word but it's happening to me!)

I think I might be turning into a crazy stay-at-home mom!!

You know the ones. The ones that make everything! And I mean everything, like clothes, napkins, soap, and even home school. I mean like what can't they do!

Well I have to confess. I am into some of that.

I have started making things and doing things I have never done.

For crying out loud I made Homemade Laundry Soap! Which by the way works really great and I LOVE IT!

What has come over me?!? I have no clue.

And now I froze corn and made salsa. I even sewed some more cloth napkins. I made a cleaning schedule, yes the neat freak of the universe made a cleaning schedule. And I have formed a Freezer Meals Club!

Not only that but I am walking with a friend. And I mean WALKING! You know for exercise. We go twice a week (needs to be 3 if not 7 times a week) and one of the days I take the kids with me in the stroller. So you better watch out because if your in my way I might run you over with the stroller. I am one of those moms.

I think maybe somebody/something is taking over my body and making me do things I have never done before. You might think oh Raychel, really that isn't anything all that special. Well if that is your thought you must not know who I am then!

I have even thought of doing school at home for Ikers. Not homeschooling where I teach him. (If that were the case we would be lucky to get past the 3rd grade) I have thought of doing virtual schooling with him. Like with a computer and stuff. We still have a 2 years before deciding that. Thank Goodness! (However I doubt we will...he needs more interaction with kids.)

Speaking of interacting with other kids I have even started going to ECFE (early childhood family education). Its a place where I get to learn to be a better mom (I am the wolds best however) and the boys get to play with other kids. Once again not really my cup of tea. Usually those type of places are filled with the crazies. The moms (and a few dads) that totally think that their lives are the kids.

Well maybe I have become one of those moms. But you know what, it has been fun becoming domesticated. I have been enjoying it a lot. However if you ever catch me making my sons and I matching clothes somebody STOP me!

Girl meets Boy

Once there was a girl....Me

Who meet a boy....Seth
(Or was really introduced by the boys sister after the girl begged to meet him)

The boy and girl fell in love

They got married
(5 years ago today)
Lots has happened in our first 5 years of marriage. We have had our ups and downs, which I am sure will continue. We have had 2 kids, and I am sure there will be no more in the next 5 years! We have bought a house. We have had 9 jobs between the two of us. We have moved 5 different times. And we bought or first NEW car.

I wonder what the next five years holds for us?!?!
