kyra_ojosverdesMy kids are taking my new hardhat around the neighborhood, bragging "My mommy is a construction worker!" They utterly are in awe of me. What could possibly be cooler than having a construction worker for a mom?
I need to go to Target (gift-card action, thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Nice thing about being female: my jeans don't slide off my hips, therefore I won't be sporting "plumber-crack" while working. Christi (Neighbor-Dan's wife) and I joked that I should get some sparkly pink and purple ultra-girly flower stickers for the hardhat. I think I'd better wait until the crew knows me first, or they won't realize it's a joke. (They've already asked Neighbor-Dan if having a "girl" on the crew means they'll have to watch their language.)
