Fike's Lives

I love being a mom, I love my children. But to most of you who really know me, know that I am not a child person on any level. I didn't like babysitting as a youth, I liked the kids just fine, but I have a hard time especially with young children. The lack of understanding what they are trying so hard to say. Rereading the same book, playing the same games over and over again. Constant repetition of praise, encouragement, discipline, I find it very taxing sometimes. Please don't get me wrong, I love these children. I don't know if this is coming to a head because we haven't had a working car, so I have been very much housebound for the last week or what. But I need some adult conversation time.


Yesterday at church, my friend Kate wasn't feeling well and was trying to figure out about work. She has been working at the same movie theater that I have been working at on and off for about 4 years now. I haven't worked there since before Lyssa was born. I told her I would cover for her, and I was able to. I had a blast. I like working. I like the social atmosphere. There is only one job I have had that I didn't like. That was Bath and Body Works, and that was because the managers didn't listen when you had something to say. I loved just being out of the house and being around other people.
