What's MY Normal you ask.....

My friend, one of my many "sisters" blogged today, and at the end of her blog she says "What's your normal?

I think that for me, my days are not "normal" compared to others. Or maybe they are, I guess it just depends on who you ask. I am the mother to two very active boys, ages 17 months (Alexavier) and 5 years old.(Joshua Jr...JJ) I hear many different things from JJ every day. Today I came home from work (it still feels weird to say I go to work....) and JJ preceeds to say "I can't go to bed... Mommy brain washed me". I am sitting on the couch going, where in the heck did he ever hear anything about brain washing. So I go in to his room to ask. He says "Avatar MOM.. DUH!!!". Like I keep up with all of that. My Mom took him and my nephew Johnathan to see the movie..I never have even watched an episode. :) I laughed though, just cause he was dead set on saying I brain washed him. So I say "JJ what does it mean when you brain wash someone". He didn't know. So I told him. He goes. "Oh, so you didn't brain wash me?" I say. "Nope, now go to bed". So now I need to learn about Avatar. We have a few episodes on DVD. I better pull them out and watch at least one. Does anyone else watch it? Can you give me some tips or something?

Alexavier learned how to blow kisses. Its' the most adorable thing. I do it to him all the time but tonight he had his hand up to his mouth going "mmmmmmmm" and then just pulled it away and smiled so big. It was SOO sweet. I wish I got it on video, I'm sure I will soon. I love how he is so different than JJ was at this age. He's 17 months and although he's very quiet (where as JJ WAS NEVER) he is very smart, and shy and just so quiet and sweet. Don't get me wrong, he has his moments. Like when you take things away that he's not supposed to have..phones, remotes, cameras...laptops etc. Pretty much anything he SHOULDN'T play with. He goes completly nuts. But then after a few minutes he's good to go again.

Normal at work? Is there such a thing? I've only been there a week, and am really enjoying learning another part of the real estate world. It's not a job where you have ANYTHING normal. Every day is different, maybe that's why I like the Real Estate industry. Things change daily, you work with new people or whatnot all the time.

So that's my normal, if you can call it that. I don't think anything about my life is normal right now. I guess it's a  new normal? I think things change too much too often to be normal. Just my opinion.

Your normal, Amanda, is all of that. Don't you get it, "normal" for one person is completely different from the rest. Love you

I know that.... it's just crazy how normal to one person is so different for other people. :)
