I was thrown off the other day when my boss turned around and said, "Good morning, Kimberly". You're probably wondering why this threw me off??? Well, I noticed that I'm not use to being called by my first name anymore! At work...I'm Mrs. Wilkerson and I hear it on average a million times a day! At work when talking with co-workers...we lose the Mrs. and just call each other by our last names, so I'm Wilkerson (like we all play on a football team or something). At home...I'm honey or usually Neil and I don't have to address each other because it's understood that when we talk it's to each other. At church...I'm Sister Wilkerson or most recently Addison's mom. Talking with mom...I'm Squashbottom and she's Pookey (that was a name she came up with after I told her I wanted to call her Pookey. Talking with my sister...plain and simple I'm Sis. Nieces and nephews...I'm Aunt Kimmy on my side and Aunt Kimberly on Neil's side (I love being an "Aunt" - it's one of my favorite "names") and it's close to plain old Kimberly. To Addison...I'm mamamamamamama (my favorite) I'm sure I will be even more exciting when she directs it specifically to me and not every toy, her daddy, and/or the stranger in the store.
Do I get tired of being Mrs. Wilkerson, Wilkerson, Honey, You, Addison's mom, Squashbottom, Aunt Kimmy, Aunt Kimberly, Sis, or mamama? Not at all. Just got thrown off with just Kimberly! Random thought...I know!

Maybe random but I loved it!
I like them. But the best of all is MOM.
It is so great when they finally connect mamamama with you. When I come home from work, they hear the door open and yell "Momma!" and come running with their arms open. I drop everything right there and soak in all the love I can. That makes it all worth it. I know it is hard to work right now, I feel your pain. I was at home with them for 18 months and then had to go back to work. We just have to make the best of it. :) Hopefully when Neil finishes school you guys can make a change. Congrats on the house too. Great feeling to own your own home.
