Value of Housewife #1

I know I am a day late.......but here is another one..... I could seriously watch these all day long.

Those meals look mighty tasty dont they?
I love the way that I was raised my family everynight gets a full dinner, hardly ever do we do out for dinner...I personally think it is more of a family gathering at our own dinner table.

It is beginning..........

Over here in Arizona we have a wonerful time during the Summer year that we call monsoon.

I hate it........... why?

Because I have curly hair......naturaly curly hair,the kind that gets super curly with moisture. like........it's bad!!!!

Today the humidity is like 40%...................here we go!!!

Being a Housewife

When there are times like recently when I run into people I have either int he past worked with or I went to school with, I often get asked..."So what do you do now?"

My response....with a grin because I love what I do..."I stay Home with the kid's and take care of my family."

I get the raised eyebrows and an"OH" which can either mean two things, they are thinking "It must be nice not to have to work." OR "Glad I don't' do that."

People think it's easy to be a STAY AT HOME MOM and at times it does have it's perks, but people really don't understand what I myself have given up in order to do that...

I had (have) goals to some day want to finish.
I hardly ever get alone time....I hear some woman in line at the market bragging about being able to go to the bar while the kids are at grandmas house.....I would never dream of doing that by big thrill would taking a 20 min. shower.
I never get call in day's when I get sick....
I have needs and item I would love to buy, but my Hubby and kids come before myself.....that's just the way it is no questions asked, even when the Hubby pleads with me to go get something for myself......I usually end up with a basket full of boy stuff.
I don't think I have ever had a meal to myself, even if we all have the same thing I guess mine just looks better.
My day starts at 5:50 and ends at about 11, with a small break if I am lucky and the kids actually do nap.....not often but I am hopeful.


I work Holiday's and weekend's even on vacations laundry has to be done and ironing.I am on call 24-7-365.
I can accomplish about 5 different task's in a day , have a brother fight around the clock get breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner made along with a nice little treat called dessert. I can iron with the best of them, while I boil something and still be able to answer all call's.....

What do you think multi talented??

The label that I gladly carry is........

*wife

*mama

*cook

*nurse

*housekeeper

*personal driver

*plumber and electrician(don't ask)

*inventor(for those last minute science projects)thanks sister

*teacher

and lastly motivator.

I wear my apron proudly as a House wife and I wouldn't change it for the world, because my goals will always be there waiting for me to finish, but every moment I miss I can't rewind, once they are gone they are gone.

So I may not have some fancy smanchy job like other's but the benefits are remarkable.

The "D" word that doesnt spell out Danger

I have been an avid watcher of Jon and Kate since day one, and I have to admit that I am terribly sad that they are divorcing. I come from my parents being divorced, and I don't believe in it. I believe that a marriage can be healed, but only if God is the center of the relationship.

I have had my fair share of a unhealthy marriage myself in the past, and everything didnt come together on our own it came together with God being the glue. William and I have been together nearly 9 years and I know that I am deeply inlove with the hubby,because God renewed our love for eachother. I am seriously and happily in love with not only my God but also my Husband.

It really does break my heart to know that this marriage is over, I see reruns and it makes my heart sink to see then "back in the day". It is aweful to read, see and hear about how it all came out.....

Suburban 50's housewife.....Going down 1950 dream lane

Since I have a fad for the 1950's housewife syndrome...Each Monday a different showing I will post, to salute the "Real housewives" of the 1950 era. Some my by short like this on and others who knows...but I want to see how long I can make this go on.

Happy Daddy Day Hubby

Me and the Hubby doing what we do best............being Goofy together......he is too cute too

I Love you Hubby, Thank you for serving not only God the father but us the family.

I Love you and am so proud to call you my Husband.

I Love your smile, heart and strength and devotion and dedication to God!

Happy Father's Day!

I am a Thinker....

I think alot!

Which is probably a good thing, but when my Hubby hears about the things that I am thinking, I know for a fact he is thinking "How much is going to cost" or "Is it something I am going to have to do alone".

At night before I go to bed laying there, my mind starts to drift...at the present time it thinks about our trip in December...blah, blah blah, or what on earth am I making for dinner tomarrow night or are Jon and Kate really going to get a divorce?

But I also think ahead........

like by this time next year will we be making constructional additions to our home along with baby additions also. I am having an itch for another baby...but a girl! Usually I can get rid of the itch just as fast as I got it....but not this time.......it's been up for discussion lately.......alot!

I think about......

Gabriel going into school next year, will we even be here next year with the way the world is going?

Does God have a man made in his image waiting just to marry my beautiful sister?

Sometimes they are harmless, harmless meaningless things like are we ever going to be able to grow grass in the front yard?

Will I ever get my garden ready?

It's no wonder I dont get a full 8 hours of sleep because my mind is literelly on the go all the time even when I sleep! Now I know why by 2 in the afternoon I am soo tired!!!

*yawn* *yawn* and its only 8:10 in the morning!
