If I could be a housewife
If I could be a housewife, I would have the time to put effort into everything I did. I wouldn't do things half-assed because the little things would matter more. If I could just stay home and care for those around me, I think it would make me a better person. That sounds kind of silly but I think it's the truth. I mean, think about it: What are the two things I worry about the most? I worry about my job and I worry about money. Take away those two big stressors, and a whole new existence could open up to me. Just being home the past two weeks has showed me how much more I use my mind when I'm not thinking about work. I am more personable and things don't bother me as much. I actually enjoy cleaning and cooking and making this apartment feel like home. I am proud of what I'm doing on a regular basis because I can see the results and I am taking care of my husband.
If I could be a housewife, my day would go something like this:
Wake up with my hubby and kiss him good-bye
Get out of bed at my own leisure and eat a good breakfast
Get my things together and decide what errands to run that day
Run errands
Clean the house
Take care of paperwork and bills
Maybe volunteer somewhere
Take a college course or two
Call up my friends and actually have the energy to chat and/or hang out
Make a good dinner for my hubby
Watch a little TV
Feel good enough at the end of the day to jump said hubby
Go to bed without worrying about the next day
Basically, I would be living ONE DAY at a time instead of constantly running around like a chicken with my head cut off always worrying about what unfortunate thing will happen next. With only one person in the marriage working and bringing in money, the other person can spend their time and effort making both partners' lives more comfortable. Everybody wins.
Now I just need to come up with a plan to make my housewife dreams come true....
Lottery tickets anyone?
