MilSpouse Friday Fill-in

1.What do you see your life like in 10 years?
Hubby will finally be retired from the Navy, so hopefully settled down somewhere.  The boys will be in middle school, so I'll probably be going to band concerts and soccer games.  As for me, I hope that I'll be back at work.


2.What do you like most about your job?
Well, to some people, I don't have a job.  To me, my kids are my job.  When Hubby asks "where'd they learn that?" or when people say "your boys are so cute and well-behaved" when we're out, I consider it my job review.  And even though my job satisfaction is variable, I'd rather be doing this than putting them in daycare or getting a nanny.

3.What are three things you do every day, no matter what day it is?
Check my email / facebook / whatever, take my pill with a cup of coffee, and stretch.  Obviously, stuff like brushing my teeth and peeing is a given, so I didn't include those.  :)

4.What would you do with an extra five hours in your day today?
It depends- five hours of daylight?  Not sure, but I know I'd be exhausted, because it would mean five more hours of entertaining & refereeing the kids.  Five hours of night- I think any mom would say, I'd SLEEP.

5.What is your favorite Christmas (or whichever holiday you celebrate) cookie recipe (please share!)?
This year, I left it up to Betty Crocker and used the pre-made mixes.  Just add eggs and butter?  Yes, please!  I suppose I could share my favorite sugar cookie recipe, by the one and only Martha Stewart.  I'd like to try these uber-cute cookie sticks, but I don't have the patience for them.  Seriously, she's neurotic but amazing.
