I've always been the "shy" type, and labeled as "snobbish" for being my quiet self, but it's just who I am. Those who know me really well have seen me win at games such as Chubby Bunny (played with sour dino's instead of marshmallows), and giggle until I practically pee myself. Unless I know you really well, you probably won't see the confident, goofy me that is hiding inside.
I am however super comfortable and happy just being at home. It's my safety zone. I don't have huge desires to be anywhere else.
To me, being in my element is:
Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for my baby girl.
Watching cookies baking in the oven
Planning which exciting meal I'm going to cook up next for my families enjoyment.
Giggling.
Playing at the park.
Listening to my little girl sing at the breakfast table.
Using a vocabulary that consists of "potty", "bubba", "sue sue" and other simple terms.
Stacks of folded laundry all over my couch.
A husband who comes home and greets me with a kiss.
Reading bed time stories to my little ones.
Kissing my babies all over their little faces anytime I want.
Tickling my children's bellies and listening to them giggle.
Hearing "I love you" from a child's lips.
Wrapping them in towel and snuggling them after a warm bath.
Cuddling up to Mr. Stannix on the couch to watch a movie or TV series that we're hooked on.
Pulling the children's covers up before I go to bed and watching them peacefully sleep.
Falling asleep in the arms of my Mr. Stannix.
Being in my element, or feeling comfortable, is being home with my family. There is no where else I'd rather be! I don't think any other job could top the joy I get from being a mother.

Excellent post sweety, there is seriously no job in the world, that tops the importance of raising a righteous family. Your mother and I have not for one minute regreted the decision for her to leave the work force (physiotherapist) to stay home and nurture you and your brother and sister.
Beautiful post Addie!
