I got an email this morning from a major cities newspaper editor asking if they could include me in a upcoming piece on stay at home mothers! Oh my!!!

I am excited and nervous. What will I say? What should I wear (for a phone interview, haha)? What will they ask me? Will my voice quiver? What if I have to pee during the interview? What if one of the children have a minor emergency? I at least know the answer to that, I will tell them to go next door until mommy gets off the phone.

If you are reading this and it is not 1:00 yet, please pray for me. I pray that I will sound calm, and normal and be able to show them Jesus in me, as opposed to crazy mom who doesn't always allow Jesus to shine.

****it is 9:45 and I just got off the phone with this sweet mom (it got rescheduled to a time where there was peace in both of our homes). I was wearing my jammies, my voice quivered, I sounded like a dork. No emergencies took place, and lastly I hope I showed Jesus. It was regarding the transition from being a working mom to being a stay at home mom. How did I adjust? What did I do to get plugged into mommyland? How do I stay connected? Etc.

It was easy, it was, I have always known I wanted to be a helpmeet to my hubby and a good Godly mom who stayed at home canning, baking, and cooking for our children, I don't think I really said it as plainly as I can type it though.

I was probably hideously boring to her, but secretly I hope not.*****
