There is No "Housewife" Option in the Profile
What I do...
My day consists of hanging out with one rather small and very vocal 14-month-old personage. He is, of course, my son. For lack of a better description, I am a stay-at-home mom, though that implies that my days are filled with games, books and snacks. I know being a stay-at-homer isn't dosesn't garner as much disrespect from the ultra-fem crowd as it used to, but it still doesn't get the respect a proper career does. But I'm here to tell you that my job is a 24-hour-a-day operation that is part chef, part circus clown, part administrative assistant and part maid. Now, if anyone out there would like to tally how much my husband owes me in yearly salary, I'll get down to the business of collecting.
Little one
Having lots of money and a sparkly career isn't really the point, though, is it. I'm happier because of what I do than if I worked in some office or high rise and commuted an hour or two each day. Just ask my financier, or rather, my husband. His job stinks, but we've had to keep at it because it pays the bills and eventually the insurance. For the three of us, the best times are when we can sit down to a quiet meal together or hang out reading books. We're broke most of the time, so we don't go to a lot of movies or eat out at restaurants, but I'd bet our choices really pay off in the long run for our marriage and for our childrens' futures.
Look at me now!
So I'm sure I'll be posting more about the rugrat. You'll be getting to know him right along side getting to know me, because he's pretty much the center of my universe right now. If you don't like kids, you're in the wrong place, then, aren't you?!
