You have 6 kids?

WTH? (meaning what the HECK)


Today , in my afternoon math class i mentioned that i had 6 kids at home.(see background story at the bottom)

so this guy looks at me, incredulously confirms...YOU,HAVE 6 KIDS? (raised eyebrows)

YEAH. i do.

then he chuckled. what does that mean?

what i wanna know is...is that unbelievable? and if so why?

sometimes i wonder what people think about the whole me having 6 kids thing?

was it shocking because I'm SO HOT and stylish? or do i come of as crochety and uptight?

is it because i'm So YOUNG?

or is that just shocking because few people in this day and age have more than 4 kids. and that's considered a large family. most people stick to 2 kids.


obviously i haven't divulged much about myself at my classes, not that there is reason or opportunity to anyway.

i don't really advertise the herd of kids to anyone . if it comes up i admit it but i don't bring that up in the first 5 of meeting someone.

well if you read my blog it's pretty obvious by my blog name, profile and pictures. it's on FB too. but to other people...it's not shocking is it?


anyway. i got home and discovered my kids were at the Play place with cousins. i met up with them there. and chilled while they had a grand time.

i picked up hot and ready pizzas for dinner on the way home

and

tonight we are going to the dollar movies (that actually cost $2.50) to see G-Force.

LET ME TELL YOU, i can't wait.





The background...

It's Thursday. i had class. both classes had incredibly low attendance today. it was brought up that no one was there, why? yadda yadda. and i mentioned that it was October break and the the nearby school districts were on break for the week. including my 6 kids sitting at home while dad passively supervised from the his office (he works from home) .

♥ The world does think 6 is a lot heck they think 4 is a lot... I get comments too about so many kids... My thoughts are 4 is small! They do the same thing to Joe when it comes up that we have 4! cracks me up! :)

I think that it's a badge of courage to have six kids and you should shout it from the rooftops!!!
:)

Glad that you had the chance to "chill" in class for a while...sounds like a vacation to me. LOL.

I even hear it from some LDS people. That is when it really surprises me.

I think it's cuz you're so flippin hot and stylish;) I get it a lot even with 5. When I was pregnant with Abs people would ask if it was my first and when I said 5they were astonished.(so was I at the time, kind of) That is one less kid than you and I am older. I think it is two things really. People start their families later these days so it is more shocking when younger people have many kids. And people just aren't having as many these days. Even is mormon circles, "4 is the new 6". And did I mention it was cuz you're crazy haught?;)
