I had finished picking up my kids from school and was heading home. I got the mail from the mailbox and scanned it not really paying attention to the same old mail, until I got to a manila envelope and noticed the logo "Wife Swap."
"Kids, we got a letter from Wife Swap." I told them trying to hide the excitement from my face. As I turn into the driveway I hear cool, wonder what it is, and awesome. I smiled as I park the car and get out.
"Kids go do your homework and your chores and then we will have a family meeting." I told my perfect children.
"Ok mom." They all chorused.
"Hey babe, how was your day?" my husband Will asked me as he walked in the door.
"Excellent, we got a letter from Wife Swap today." I replied.
"Really we'll have a family meeting later, wonder what it says." He said on his way to his study.
I opened the letter, my hands shaking so much that I could barely open it. I finally got it open after what seemed like ages and was suddenly scared to read. Then I remembered my family was perfect and that there was no way we couldn't get in.
I read the first line. We got in, I was so happy I could finally get the chance to help some family in need.
I was so excited that I started to write my schedule down and write about my perfect family
I was so excited that I started to write my schedule down and write about my perfect family.
My name is Katelyn Simmons and I am the mother of 3 children. Katie is the oldest and 13, Nicholas is the middle and 8, and Lacey is the youngest and she is 6. I am married to my husband Will Simmons. I am a housemother and my day is spent volunteering at the Local Animal Shelter, shopping for groceries and dropping off and picking up my kids from school and they're after school activities. But there on Christmas Vacation, they still have to go their activities though.
Katie has cheerleading and robotics, Nicholas has basketball and chess, and Lacey had gymnastics and Lil Dribblers. Will works as an Assistant Manager for a Law Firm. We believe as a family we should eat 2 meals a day together and that children need to always keep a busy schedule, so they're not in trouble. When they get home they have chores and homework to do. They are not allowed on the computer or television without supervision and no more then 2 hours a week. The children know what they should do and there's along with mine schedule is on the kitchen counter. Good Luck.
"Will, can you get the video please and hook up the VCR?" I asked my husband as my kids were filing down the stairs.
