As the co-founder of the Loo Family, my current job responsibilities are:

I am the exclusive provider of nutrition to the Little Loos until they are ready to experiment with solids.  I continue to provide primary nutrition throughout the weaning process, which is determined by the Little Loo. 

Teach the Little Loos the finer points of life like table manners, conversational English, ABC’s, 123’s, colors, objects like trees, flowers, cars, dogs, cats, bears, lions, etc. 

I also focus on teaching these Little Loos the dangers of closing doors and drawers on fingers, staying out of the street, not touching a hot stove/oven, keeping clear of the toilet, etc.  The least enjoyable aspect of this job is the discipline.  Sometimes I must issue a verbal warning to correct bad behaviors.

Change more dirty diapers per day than I care to count.

Wife and partner to the other co-founder of the Loo Family.

Manage inventory of daily consumables including everything from toilet paper, diapers and soap to veggies, fruits and other food stuff. 

Prepare and serve at least 3 meals and more snacks than I can count per day.

Provide laundry services for this family of four.

Maintain the home at a minimum that will not violate any health codes.

Fix things when they break.

Design and make Halloween costumes.

Manage external contractors who are hired for specific tasks like install a new patio, irrigation and new plants.

Research and verify advice given by doctors and other health care professionals.  This is almost a full time job in itself!

This position does not provide “sick time”, vacations, days off, no retirement/pension, etc.  I consider myself lucky if I get to eat lunch, and bathroom breaks are hard to come by!

This position does have its perks, though.  I get to dance with a 2 year old. I get lots of hugs and kisses, and hearing the sweetest little voice saying “Mommy” makes my heart melt even when I’m having a bad day. 

Oh, being pregnant and giving birth…does that count?  I’ve done that twice now in 2 years.

Whew…I feel like I’ve been busy!

Last week, two people ask me if I’m “on facebook”, so I decided to check it out.  I’m already on “Linked in”, but had not created a profile on facebook.  While creating my profile on facebook, I realized I don’t have a “current employer”, so I wrote my current job responsibilities as a Mother.  It was the most difficult of all my “jobs” to describe, and also turned out to be the most lengthy…gee, I wonder why!? 

 So, I’m on facebook now, if you wanna look me up.
