Just recently I've been craving the chance to quit my second job and just be the perfect housewife with my extra time. Those people used to drive me absolutely crazy. You know the ones.... their house is always spotless and they always have perfect homemade, 5-course meals prepared. My dear sweet sister-in-law is one of those. :) It's always made me feel guilty and depressed when I came home to my small little place that is piled high with dirty clothes and dishes, and the fridge is always empty. I used to loathe those activities. Now I long for the chance to be able to stay at home in the evenings and cook and clean and piddle around doing crafts and whatnot. Ha ha. But alas I am stuck going to work, to serve food to people that I could care less about and forced to run around for hours on end. Oh for the simplicity of cleaning my bathroom and dejunking my closet. Someday soon, this will be my reality. Then I will count myself truly blessed to have the time to do my dishes and organize my filing cabinet. But until then....
I finished knitting my baby hammock. I was surprised at how simple and quick of a project it actually was. Besides fudging around to figure out a certain stitch, everything went extremely smooth. I forgot to take a picture of the finished project before I handed it off to my sister. You will just have to be patient with me and wait until she gets to put it to use for a picture. Until next time, I shall be dreaming of doing my dishes. :)
I'm so jealous of your ability to knit! Also, I don't even have the husband and kids set-up and I find myself loving the idea of staying at home cooking, cleaning, and crafting for my sisters and niece. :) So you're not too strange!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the baby hammock in use :) There is no such thing as a "perfect housewife" as I'm sure you know ;) take it from a housewife who has all the time in the world to clean, cook, organize, etc. :P Ok well maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel better for my lack of motivation.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, baby will give you "home time" soon. :)
