If only you could jump in and get the ring!
Doug has had an on going joke since we have been married that he still has "it." Meaning women will actually pick up on him. Back in February he lost his ring. He was really upset about it, as was I. Unfortunately, it still hasn't been replaced making it look like he is "single" again. Every once in a while he continues to joke that the nurses don't know he is married because his left hand is empty. Truth is there isn't a time he doesn't show a photo of his kids and wife. I am proud to say I married a wonderful, hot guy. I say hot because doesn't everyone think their spouse is a Brad Pitt? Well, I do. Anyways, unbenounced to me I guess I still have "it", if that is what you want to call it. I don't want to describe these next few scenarios as bragging, but more of something I think is actually quite comical.
Go Spurs!
: A couple of years ago Angie and I went to a Spurs game with our husbands. Doug had to break away early because he was called into the hospital which left me a third wheel with Greg and Angie. As we were leaving the game Greg left to used the restroom. Angie and I were just standing there chit chatting when I guy came up to us (I swear he was drunk) and said, "hey to you girls want to go hit such and such club tonight?" Angie was on the phone with her babysitter (and pretended to be on longer when she saw that guy) I immediately said I am married and have 4 children! I am sure I said it pretty fast because I was taken back by his comment. He jokingly argued that there is no way I had that many kids, blah, blah. He finally left after Greg walked up. I will blame it on him being drunk, but I had a ring on people! (oh, and we NEVER get these comments with our kids only the sisters and twins comments).
"The Trophy Wife"
As I was sitting at football practice chatting with all the mom's a few weeks ago. We got onto the topic of physicians and how so many have had affairs. One of my friends' husband is a doctor as well and said I guess I better be getting to the gym sooner than later, because it's just a matter of time before mine may find something better or his "trophy wife." I jumped in and said of course he wouldn't do that you have kids, have been married a long time, etc. She then turned to me (jokingly of course) and said you have nothing to worry about you already are the trophy wife. Ha! What? I am not sure what the definition of a trophy wife is other than I immediately think plastic. Like Barbie, playmate plastic. Blech! I really hope I don't portray that look, I did think it was pretty funny.
No, I didn't go back!
food mart image courteous of internet: Yesterday on my way to watch Jared's practice I stopped over at the Quick Stop to pick up me and my friend a Diet Coke. I walked up to the register, set my stuff down and the cashier looked at me and said, "you are probably married........Oh, no I knew where this was going! He said, I am going to be a nice guy and not charge you for one of those drinks. (I won't say what I was thinking inside) I said that was super nice of you and I am married and have 4 kids. "What?" (picture this with a sorta wanna be Spanish accent--don't ask it's a San Antonio thing) You are much too hot to have that many. He then went into how he is going through a divorce, how lame his wife was that he has to pay all the bills and take care of his children. Oh, my let's just say that 2 minutes was the longest EVER. I bolted right after I punched in my debit numbers. I forgot to add that these compliments were made by not so nice looking men--you know the salesmany look. (so no reason to be jealous there). I guess being in my 30's with 4 kids it's flattering, but no thanks! (on a side note Doug asked if I was going to go back and take a photo of this guy for the post----NOT!
good deed: took Jared to practice
If only you could jump in and get the ring!
Go Spurs!

What a great post.
I think you are a “HOT” mom.
I had a stay at home mom, asked me “how it feels to be a trophy wife of a dentist”.
What, Hey sista i am NO trophy wife. I married Ryan when we were both poor collage students at BYU.
Hey at least you got a free Diet Coke :)
It's hard when you're that cute! With these experiences, there's always a fine line between flattery and "what?" Face it Jenny, you can't help it if you've got it!
That is really funny. You always got the guys in high school. My Dad would always say to me "It hurts to be beautiful" (Usually when combing my hair). When your hot, your HOT!
Jenny! Maybe you just need a bigger ring! See if you can get Doug to up the rock. Just kidding. And it is gorgeous. I guess some guys just don't care!? Can you imagine if you'd gotten a picture of that guy at the convenience store? That would have been great, but definitely too flattering to him.
this post is so funny!
It doesn't happen very often but when a guy does flirt with me, I just don't know how to react I get so embarrassed! Back when I was single I would just flirted right back, I have definitely lost it and that's a good thing.. hahaha
I completely understand where you're coming from. I had some younger guys honking and whistling at me while pumping gas in my MINIVAN the other day.
I do not really know what some people are thinking but??? But I think you are super cute so just take the compliment and shrug the weirdos off!!
All I can say is. whu can't these guys be a little cuter. The guy at the game was just a sicko. I'm not sure if it was because you could obviously tell how drunk he was but, it would be nice to think these men had clear heads when they were hitting on us.
I guess you know that the exercising and taking care of yourself has paid off. There aren't too many women in their thirties and that have four kiddos that look as good as you. When you've got it you've got it.
Too funny! I love the when you said say it with an accent. I'd be happy about the Diet Coke for sure!
Check out my blog I posted again, aren't you proud?
Wow! I'd be scared of those food mart guys! Yuck!
The whole trophy wife thing is so annoying. Don't you remember that Doctor in our ward in NOLA, who did that to his wife and they had 4 kids. So sad! I don't think that would ever happen to you and Doug though!
Oh my, what a week. I'd get a ring for Doug.
Hilarioius. You are definitely a hottie. I think you should go back to the food mart with your little piratess costume on!
I grew up hearing my dad say that rings were very dangeorous specially in a big city...being a dr. he saw many accidents with rings...so he never wore one, he would always say that his jewels were his wife and children...so I don't like to see guys with rings..weird...alf likes them, but I never gave him one. Hey you should be soo proud of all the hard work and hey having 4 kids takes some kind of woman...and to stil look young and hot...even better...i need to get in shape asap...i also admire my mom...after 6 kids..she still looks wonderful
Good question, what is a trophy wife? I've always associated it with a rich older man married to a hot younger woman. How much younger than Doug are you? Probably not enough, and I'm pretty sure trophy wives dont' work as hard as you do!
