Being The Help While Being The Awesome

Three of my favorite comments this month:
  1)    "So what do you do?"
         "I am a nanny full-time"
         "That's...interesting...do you at least have a degree?"
2)     "Wow, you look like a girl with your hair down"
3)     "Honey....I love you so"   

Needless to say, my husband has kept me sane these last few months, especially from the brutally elite of this area.

Ok everyone get excited! I am all kinds of sophisticated now! In the last few weeks alone I have:

Participated in a food and wine pairing
Joined a book club
Eaten at a real life Michelin Star rated restaurant (the kind you spend your mortgage  on dinner)
Attended (albeit at most an hour) a daisy scout party with all the Tennisplaying-tan-tooskinnytohavehadthreekids-velourtracksuitwearing-supermommies
And of course...joined a women's bible study (I know, my mother is rolling in her non-existent grave)

BUT I think the fact that I have also:

Eaten ice cream at 9 am
Changed approximately 80 diapers this month... give or take a couple hundred
Done this to my hair
Jumped shamelessly on a trampoline with a bunch of 5-9 year olds
And let's not forget the fact that my husband and I go thrifting quite often but can you blame us?! I mean....come on!

Kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
Oh well, I would still prefer to be this person

Over these people

 All that to say, I love who I turned out to be and I can confidently say it was all God's fault ;) My husband loves me because of it and  to all those in this area who glare at me walking down main street with a baby that is not mine (which they clearly assume she is), well ya'll can just DEAL WITH IT. I am fancy when I need to be (but let's be honest....who needs fancy when you can have awesome?) and down to earth when I want to be.

I am crazy in love with my God
madly head over heels for my husband
and no longer dealing with the sass of those who feel I don't belong.

On paper, there isn't much is almost nothing to say about me, but don't let that fool you. I am an intelligent, dare I say, beautiful woman of God and I have an entire life to live. I don't know where I am going next but I know Justin will be there. And I know my mom is proud of me. Most importantly I know my God is proud of me (even when I suck A LOT) Being where we are has been humbling to say the least ("sweetheart you are so sweet but this event is for parents ...not the help" -comment while attending a recital for the little girl I take care of) , but I laugh Every. Day. and I am well loved. I sadly can't say the same about those around me.

Everyone needs the Lord....even the wealthy.

even me.
