An early Mother's Day conversation

Brandon was in Brisbane all this week. So much better having him home.
 Anyway, while on the trip Brandon was talking to a work mate about how we are homeschooling. From that conversation followed this one at home...

Brandon: "You know, I was thinking about your net worth. It's like twice the amount that I make. Your homeschooling the kids, making all the meals, etc."

Me: "Oh, really. Well it would be nice to get a paycheck from time to time."

Jolene: "Whats a paycheck?"

Me: "Money that you get for working!"

Brandon: "Jolene, did you take Mommy's paycheck?!"

Me: "Yeah, where is my paycheck!"

Jolene:  (giggling)  "I don't know!" "I don't have it"  turning to look at Bradon
"Did yooouu take the paycheck?!" 

Jolene: "Where is Mommy's paycheck?!!!"

So yes, this is how my family says "we love you." I like it, definitly better than Hallmark.

Brandon did get me a little something. I suppose it could be seen as a salary increase after completing my preformance review. I uncovered a new artist recently. Brandon bought me a couple of prints for a having a good preformance review :-)

These are the two I bought from Ashley G. 

The first one is called "Storytime" and the second one is entitle "I like your scarf." The second reminds me of the first time Brandon and I met. With a slight modification, those were the first words we said to eachother. Our words were "I like your shoes." We were wearing the identical indoor soccer shoes. I know, straight out of Jane Austin.
