| | I remember a time when I made an excellent house wife. The laundry was always washed and put away. The kitchen was clean - no dishes in the sink. The dogs were walked - or roller bladed - lets say well-exercised. I could do my shopping on the off hours when it wasn't crowded. I could get fresh veggies and fruit from the market. I had someone to cook dinner for... and likewise, someone to eat whatever it was I decided to bake when I was bored.
Don't get me wrong...
I remember when I was unemployed, worked part time, and was miserably bored. I think I failed to appreciate the little things about that time. There were other extenuating circumstances making that point in life a difficult time for me.
I think I'd really love to work part time retail in a specialty shop (like the one I'm at now) and stay at home with the kids. Especially if I had neighbors like Gina and Shannon, who also stay home with the kids. It would be fun to hang out by the pool in the summer, or take the kids to museums on a group outing. Or maybe I could make extra money painting and writing (although I haven't done much of either lately) while the kids were down for their nap.
I just got back from the grocery store. While I was there, I decided I was craving a Shepard's Pie. So, tonight I am making a pie. I'm gonna use bell peppers and cucumbers instead of my normal, corn, peas, onions, and carrots. More than likely, no one will be here to eat it but me. I don't cook much anymore. It's lonely making a whole meal by yourself, for yourself. There's always so much extra. Sometimes I crave a good meal, though. those are the days I break away from my typical yogurt, Cheerios, fruit, and vegetable menu.
