When they’re up and “helping” me they make me crazy but when they’re not and doing this I feel sad 😔 like I’m ignoring them😄#wfh #staythefhome #furbaby #whosetheboss (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cwKefpNb_KeHkn6XHi2Cp1yaZJ1FivtwXlr40/?igshid=1jid8mjgybqdu

Nothing great happens when I fold the laundry.

My thoughts have not been my own in far too long, so much junk gets dumped up there. I’m not sure if I chose it to be this way or if it just happened by default as I morphed from being a human woman into my housewife state.  

I used to be a fully functioning, extremely employable, money in the bank and an IQ of impressive stature kinda girl. However for years leading to this moment I have not realized how much all of that has changed. I had my suspicions that nothing great happens when I fold the laundry, nor does my natural and effortless cooking skills break down conflicted borders but one would think that it would be an awe inspiring attribute with those whom you occupy a common abode.

A woe unto me but a simple reminder of how “the times are not a changing”  I bet my granny granny grey felt the same way as I do. I picture her in the still of the night sitting over her steaming cup of sweet tea wondering how she became the cook butler butcher baker leather shoe repairer baby popping floor scrubbing hot mess just like I’m doing right now. I wonder if she made little emotional notes too. 

It’s a full time job they say. “HECK YEAH IT IS” but somehow my boss has not paid me in over 18 years. I have deadlines to meet all the time, demands thrown at me from every which way and questions begging to be answered, my most favouritetest being, “How long before supper is done?” from the husband who still knows no better.                                                                                And let’s say my answer is “An hour!”                                                              And back will bounce, “So an hour and a half then” with a know-it-all expression on his face.                                                                                                      How do you think he’d respond if nearing the end of the month I ask him, “Hey how soon before you make enough money?” with my brow raised ever so slightly.                                                                                                                 I must admit, I am so tempted to give this sheepish try.

Undeniably being a housewife has it’s perks like, I don’t have to wear heels every day.....NO WAIT...that’s not a perk I like my heels. I don’t have to blow my hair out all the time...NO WAIT...I like that too, it makes me feel super pretty. I don’t have to see people all the time...NOPE WRONG AGAIN...I quite like people!  I’m thinking, I’m thinking, I’m thinking.....                                                                                                                            Perhaps, I’ll remember them tomorrow!
