Three Things

Okay faithful followers, so sorry I have been inconsistent this week. It probably won't get much better the rest of the week but I have a lot to say so just read slowly and it should get you through until Saturday. Sorry it is all random, but they all simply add up to the quirkiness that is me.
First of all, I had a thankful thought the other day. I saw these two guys who were dressed in suits on Monday afternoon who were not Mormon but actual guys who I assume had to dress that way everyday for work. I was kind of shocked. I know it has been a while since I was in the work force but I guess I just assumed that no one dressed that way anymore. Come on people, it is summer, in southern California, why on earth would you make some poor guy wear a suit? I was immediately thankful that Matthew doesn't have to dress like that for work. There is no way we could afford it, and there is no way that I would iron everyday to keep his clothes nice. Don't get me wrong, I love the way he looks all dressed up, but I hate ironing. And to be quite honest, all of Matt's clothing is worn out and somewhat holey (although I guess you could say "holy" since he is a pastor - ha ha just kidding, bad corny joke) because when we do have money for clothes he graciously lets me spend it on the kids and never complains about his attire. Which reminds me, I am also thankful that God has blessed him with friends who wear his size clothing so he can borrow stuff when he needs to do a wedding or funeral.
Second thing - why on earth do strippers make so much money? I was once again trying to figure out how to make it work for me to get a part time job. What I basically need is to work as few amount of hours as possible and make a decent amount of money. Sounds impossible, I know. However, as I was thinking, do you know the random job that came to mind? Stripper. Why on earth would that even pop into my head?!?!?!? Even if I did think I could get a job doing that I never would, but wow they make good money per hour. And what is the skill set required? Be under 25, wear a size 2, and be able to take off clothing? What if I just apply, and when I get denied I could sue for discrimination. Wouldn't that be an awesome headline? "Pastor's wife sues strip club for job". Yeah, that wouldn't embarrass my shy humble husband at all.
Finally, one last sad thing to confess. My children learned a new joke this week. Ready? Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide! Want to know what is so sad about that? When I heard it, I honestly started busting up. I think I am not only desperate to have my husband back for some witty conversation but incredibly tired. Usually I sleep great when he is gone, but this week has been a tough one emotionally for a bunch of different reasons and it has definitely put a damper on my evenings. Only a few more days to go :) Hope you all are having a great week!
