As promised here is Part One of my sweeties anniversary gift. If you remember my pity party you'll see just how thoughful this is. I'll post the rest at a later date since it's a little lengthy and I like short blog entries.
Enjoy! Julie
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Title: Princess of our home
Director of Homeland Operations
Queen Bride & Mother
2005 Objectives
Section 1
Comment on the following, providing specific examples of strengths and areas needing improvement during this review period.
Comments:
Julie consistently operates at a high level. Her ability to run home operations is second to none. She consistently ensures that finances are in order and that major home catastrophes are avoided and/or managed. She is truly amazing. Rarely are lives in danger and if they are, Julie always encourages the family that we will all be in heaven anyhow.
Overall rating: Exceeds All Expectations
Comments: Julie’s caring nature makes everyone smile. She consistently provides loving care to the children and pets, maybe with exception of the family fish, which no one really cares about anyhow. She rarely forgets to feed the kids and up to this point, has not followed through with death threats. Additionally, Julie sings to the kids at night with a voice like that of an angel.
Develop Community Support Systems:
Overall rating: Exceeds All Expectations
Comments:
Julie demonstrates excellent ability to develop support systems that help her meet the demanding requirements of being a stay-at-home mom. Everyone who meets Julie walks away impressed with her honestly and geniuses. Julie is also an outstanding blogger. As blogging goes, one can rate one’s blogging ability based on posted comments and Julie averages 5.687 comments per blogg entry. This is a very impressive trend and one that is envied by all.
Multi-tasking:
Overall rating: Exceeds All Expectations
Julie is off the chart in multi-tasking skills. She recently managed to cook dinner, paint the house, pick up kids from school, fight with her husband, fold a thousand pounds of laundry, dress herself and the rest of the family, tolerate her husband and kids in the bookstore, restrain herself from throwing sharp edged objects with the intent to do harm to her husband, all within the span of two hours…amazing!
Julie is very steady under fire, which happens on an hourly basis. Julie routinely squares off with incompetent computer technicians, resulting in brand new replacement components. She also fends off all and any people or forces who mean harm to our family, which usually means drawing clear boundaries against intrusive and over-bearing in-law types.
What a sweet thing for Tripp to do. I’m supposing that you are tucking this away in a scrapbook somewhere.
Hey I got that Kodak Easy Share camera. Just got it last night so I haven’t had time to play with it yet. I’ll be back to taking pictures again soon though!
My 13th anniversary is in a few weeks and I am soooo gonna steal this. How clever and wonderful 🙂
to have such a husband that appreciates you for who you are and what you mean to the family. Sounds like they are blessed as well by you.
Can I hire you to work here? 🙂
*laughter* Not only can I appreciate your abilities (as another mother of three princes and a princess!), but I love your husband’s sense of humor. What a clever and loving anniversary gift!
(Men, take note: these kind of things are far more precious than diamonds, flowers or even *gasp!* chocolate!)

OK. This would have totally floored me. I would have been a crying mess before I was half way thru it. Flowers are nice, cards are fine…but this kind of thing would have wiped me out entirely. What an amazingly creative man you have. And how absolutely blessed you must have felt after that recent hard time.
Wow. I just think this is so neat.
By the way, I put the link into Christafari on my blog so you could go see their website. I don’t like the music they have playing on the site right now as much as I do their older stuff. It’s so great to have Christian-Reggae music to dance to and worship to.
This is about the sweetest thing ever! What a neat hubby you have.
