Parent Job Description
Parent Job Description
This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, I don't believe any of us would have applied!!!
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 the hospital, emergency room, walk in clinics, primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! PTA meetings, school reports card days, open house things of that natureTravel 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, mysteriously sluggish toilets, baking , constant cleaning 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 willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.

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 is 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.
Forward this on to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis, letting them know they are appreciated for the fabulous job they do... or forward with love to anyone thinking of applying for the job.
** AND A FOOTNOTE** THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!!

Church and Car Analogy
Thanks for sending this to me Malinda!!!
You can compare anything to a car...
High Priests are like old jeeps, they can't carry much but they're reliable and will never leave you stuck.
Relief Society women are like Lamborghinis, They are very beutiful, move really fast and are lots of fun but you had better spend time and money maintaining them or you'll be sorry.
Elders Quorum brethren are like freight trains. They can carry a lot and work hard but it takes a lot of energy to get them going.
Young Men are like bullet bikes. They can go 200 miles/hour and are lots of fun but one mistake and they'll wreck fast.
Young Women are like Miata clubs. Cute little cars that look like they're having fun but they're always in tight packs and can't seem to figure out where they're going.
And then there's Primary!

High On Pot!
I'm not sure why I'm sharing this but I think it's funny. It's from when I was a freshman in college 2 years ago. We saw a sign that said, "He who stands on toilet is high on pot"
Obviously we felt the need to demonstrate. lol I miss those clothes I was wearing!! lol I'm on the left BTW.Monday, November 30, 2009
Yay for Temples and Family!!!
So I had a big weekend this past Thanksgiving weekend. We celebrated our first anniversary! Yay!! And I got to go to the temple on the 27th and I received my Endowments and Paul and I got sealed! Wohoo!!! I'm so excited! It was such an amazing experience. Luckily we have a temple in Twin Falls so we're gonna try and go at least once a week. I'm 7 months pregnant so I want to use the little time I have before it gets too uncomfortable to go. And then having a new baby I won't really be able to go for a while either.
I'm so grateful for the temple and for the opportunity we had to go. I'm so grateful for the Atonement that the Savior provides and for the opportunities we have to change and become better. I'm so grateful for family and that we have temples where we can be sealed together forever. I'm so happy our little boy is going to be born sealed to us! I'm also thankful for family and friend who support me despite mistakes I make and who are there for me when I need them.
And I'm thankful for hand-me-downs. We don't have much money right now to buy all of the baby things. And since this is our first we have nothing. But I have great brothers and sisters who are willing to loan/give us almost everything we need. I just felt so happy and grateful for everything in my life I just had to say it out loud/write it down.Wednesday, November 11, 2009
A Child's Angel
I saw this on a post today on a group I'm in on www.babycenter.com It was too good not to share:D Enjoy!
A Child's Angel
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
One day the little child asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so
small and helpless?"
God answered him "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you
and will take care of you."
"But tell me," asked the child, "here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile,
that's enough for me to be happy."
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your
angel's love and be happy." God reassured him.
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the
language that men talk?"
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much
patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you, Lord?"
"Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back
to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be
heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly
"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"You will call your angel, Mother"
