Being a stay at home wife/mother is not easy, well sometimes it is. My husband is a pilot so his schedule is somewhat unpredictable. Can I depend on him? no. Will he be home when he says he will? no. Will he still be home at 9am when he told me last nite he had to be there by 8am? Yes. Will he go in to fly and be cancelled and take the day to do what he wants? Yes.
As I go through my morning rush I wonder what it would be like if I could call the school and tell them what time my daughter will start her day. Or be able to take the day just for my self. But, then I remember all those times I did nothing but sit on my friends couch until the last possible second leaving me in a rush to get home before the bus rolls up. Not to mention those momosa friday's, day long beach outings, lunch dates and so called "mental health day's" that are spent at Williams-Sanoma. I gotta say I have it good. I am so glad that we don't need a dual income. I am able to stay home and attempt to be a Good Cookie. My husband doesn't expect dinner on the table but loves to come home to a pot of something.
I am trying to perfect the art of being a stay at home wife. I cook (fresh, never frozen), I clean, and I raise children (2 human, 3 cainine). But as my favorite quote from a very underated movie State and Main states, "Everyone needs a hobby."---->and that hobby can't be your spouse. As it turns out many of my hobbies bennefit my home life and I am slowly learning to let my spouse be.
