I'm smart

so i was beginning to worry that i couldn't string any thoughts together except those involving my children. i did not want this to be just the dreaded "mom-blog", but everytime i sit down to blog, guess what's on my mind. well, you don't have to guess, if you are a regular reader, you know, it's my children, especially lucy, apparently. so last night at work i tried really hard to figure out if that is really all i ever think/talk about. i swear, i listen to talk radio! i read! (not just children's books) i even have adult conversations, every once in a while! more than half of my co-workers don't even know i have 5 children, so, i asked myself, what do i talk with my co-workers about, besides work. i decided that i choose very interesting people to chat with, so i mostly listen. for example, my buddy bill that sits by me was telling me on saturday about his days when his children were young and they had dairy cows. well that got my attention right away. at our house, we remember fondly the days of leon's cows that my dad was responsible for. brandon's glory days as a cowboy! so bill actually only had 2 or 3 cows at a time, but he had more milk than he ever needed. milk fresh from a cow grosses me out. i don't think i could drink it, but then he tells me he used to make YOGURT! at first, that sounded even more gross, but no, he had a yogurt maker, he described the whole process, very sanitary, etc. i was fascinated, and a little jealous! how great would that be to make your own organic yogurt! he also had honey bees...fresh honey, too. what a life. that is so mine and brandon's dream world! so does this conversation make me sound smart? no. but it does prove that i have a few brain cells left that are capable of learning new things and talking about them. funny. this is too long already, so i won't even get into the woman i used to sit by who's husband was actually a gold prospector...
