I Miss Cleaning

I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful for having a job, even part time, considering how many people are out of work right now, but I already miss cleaning. Like, not the actual act of cleaning my home, but even in just one week of working outside of the home, I just don't want to do anything. I'm tired and I don't want to clean.

I need to clean, I'm going to clean, but I used to actually love doing it. Strange huh? At heart I'll always be a Happy Housewife and nothing else and that's fine with me. This is a season.

I really don't understand women who hate being housewives. Who get bored being housewives. Make a choice to be happy. If you choose to be home, then do your job there. If you choose to work, then do it there. Really tho, I love being a housewife. I love cleaning, I love decorating my home, I love grocery shopping and cooking and waiting for my husband to come home from work so I can dote on him a bunch.

But so far everyday this week he picks me up from work and we both come home and just crash on the couch. The house is a wreck and we haven't had a home cooked meal all week.

I need to figure out how to work outside of the home for a few hours a day and still be a housewife. 3 hours a day does not take away my housewife status. That is my job, but being home is my career, my life.

I need to find that balance and embrace it.

I also need my carpets shampooed still.
