Mommy Monday
What do you do to relax, what brings you joy? What is one thing you do just for yourself? You may laugh at me but for me it is baking. I would so love to be involved in bake sales. I got a message this morning asking if I could bake for a project and my heart got all a flutter. What could I make and how many and can I start right this minute. I love to bake. I love to clean up as I bake. I love the smell of baking. I love trying new recipes. I love changing recipes around. I do dislike when I forget to take pictures of what I make. I have recipes everywhere of things I want to make. I have this habit of buying ingredients and then realizing I forgot what I bought them for. I love giving my baked goods away. I swear I could set up a bake sale sign and mark everything free just for the love of baking.
Okay, I guess I better go bake because I can.

Have you ever gotten a background check done? I have done it on many military posts before. But, on post you just feel out a form and assume it came out clean.
I am going to start doing respite care soon. Respite care is when you have a child with disabilities of some type. Grace got it when she was younger. I have a friend who get’s respite hours. So I am signing up to be her provider. The first step is to get a back ground check. I was so nervous. No idea why. My husband drove me to the court house. It was a horrible day to be outside because it was raining like crazy and the lightning was scary. But I wanted to get it done while he was home so I did not have to take kids in with me.
I arrived at the court house and found the closest entrance and ran as fast as I could. I still walked in wet. I went through security and found the appropriate office. I have no clue why I was so nervous. Really I was feeling silly for being so nervous. The lady handed me a paper to fill out. I handed it back with my out of state driver’s license. Handed her my money order and within about 2 minutes I saw her notarize a piece of paper and hand it to me. I asked if that was my background check and she assured me it was. I said thank you and commented on how fast that was. She almost laughed at me and said “mam, you have no record”. OH YEAH! I guess I do not. Why had I not thought about that? I did get a speeding ticket a few years ago.
I have no idea what I was expecting but it was not to be in and out of the court house in ten minutes and that is only because I had to walk across the building.
So again I ask, have you ever had a back ground check and were you intimidated? What intimidates you? I should have taken a picture of me with my background check.
