Career Change

I took Kayelynn to get her 4 month shots this morning. She did well. We were really in and out very quickly and I didn't feel ready to go home when we were done. Despite being so cold out, its a very pretty day.
So I procrastinated. We drove around the backstreets of Petersburg, then to McDonald's drive thru, then around Hornady Park with a brief stop to watch the geese and ducks slip and slide on Lake Ashley. I felt a little sad as I turned the car towards home.
It had been an enjoyable trip. Kayelynn was napping in her carseat. Trey was telling me about all the things he could see while he munched on his chicken nuggets. The sun was warming me thru my window and I was admiring the frozen, white landscape all around me. That's when it occurred to me.....I should be a truck driver!
Sure, laugh...But just think of it! Me in my big rig, the kids with me strapped in their carseats, the open road ahead of me...I thought it sounded great. I like to see new places and the kids enjoy a car ride. Why not make a little money at the same time?
As I thought more about it, I found some flaws to my plan. I really don't know how to drive a big truck. They probably don't handle as well as my Equinox. And the threat, "Don't make me turn this thing around!" was taking on a whole new meaning.
So I came up with a back up plan. Trey and I could bake lots and lots of muffins. (See prior entry). Then we could load them up in my mommy-mobile and sell them to bakeries and other eateries. (Jasper girls: this led me to think of the Stat Diner)
Then Trey started to whine that he needed to go potty. Kayelynn was starting to fuss because it was almost time to nurse again. I also noticed that gas prices had gone up again. Maybe I'll just stick with the mommy gig I've got going. Its not half bad. : )
