No on around here would ever have this many kids unless they were filthy rich! Combine that with the fact that I walk around in the middle of the day like I have no job: you got yourself a stew, baby.<br /><br />Also, my favorite line from Ethan's play-date-mate, after strolling into our living room, casually looking around, and then turning to me: "Huh. Nice place you got her."

I used to be bothered by it but now I kind of like shocking people. And soon they start to think you are some kind of wonder woman with super magical powers. I like having the conversation about how having more kids means built in play-dates and now (for me) baby sitters. It's a different style of parenting but one that makes more sense than the only child family. A child that needs my attention 100% of the time is no fun at all. That is what they have you know which is why they can't imagine that times 4.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338688515732965297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-26622118639675831652010-10-01T15:33:30.822-06:002010-10-01T15:33:30.822-06:00Hi Hailey!

I'll never forget being told "I can't believe those are all yours!" (three) in San Diego.

Also, you can imagine why I've given up trying to be awesome. I have no hope: Raised in the midwest, live in Utah, 5 kids. . . PRETTY AWESOME! And it's all ON PURPOSE! You should never let me on the streets of New York Towne. I can't hold my tongue!

Weird, huh? <br /><br />Maybe you weren't saying this, and I was just projecting my own feelings on what you wrote, but it is very different living in a "foreign land" and I am a "Western" girl too meaning, not so much of the Asian Persuasion. We're only here for a short while and we're going to eat it up and take advantage of all it has to offer which is a lot. Plus I hear it just takes 6 months to get used to and then everything becomes second nature and you don't realize it anymore. Just like after awhile I didn't notice that I was the only white person at Sam's in Maryland. I'm sure you won't even notice the stares after awhile. <br /><br />hmm, shoulda just sent that all in an email. haha sorry for the novel and unsolicited advice.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244908551583729419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15056476.post-76880975493734866732010-09-28T18:45:01.404-06:002010-09-28T18:45:01.404-06:00Welcome to the east coast Hailey!
