Housewives tend to spend a lot of time doing things around the house alone. So what goes on inside the head of a housewife? What do we think about during the 15 minute task at hand? What odd scenarios play out in our heads while we sit on the floor folding clothes, or rock a nursing baby to sleep? What issues do we dwell on while making the kids lunch? What problems do we solve/create while we do the laundry? Here’s what goes on in my head…
About Me
- Sarah
- I have dedicated all of my time to the welfare, upkeep, control, future, problem solving, compromising, cleanliness, and order to my home, my children, my dog, my two cats, my two fish, and my husband. I have opted to put all my time, sanity, self control, patience, impatience, good grace, and stellar personality into this effort. I am happy to clean, willing to be walked all over, content to attend to my dirty duties, and totally convinced I have the best job in the world. Give or take a couple days.

...while drying up the lake Clara created in the hallway
I wonder if kids ever truly feel sorry when they get yelled at and are forced to say sorry. It seems more like they are secretly thinking "dude, Mom, why are you freaking out, don't you know how much fun it is to play with water in the house?" I don't think they truly grasp the concept. Even if it's fun, it's naughty. Do I have the right as a loving mother to yell at them for doing something they just don't realize is very very bad? Can I honestly punish my daughter for having very creative fun time simply because it makes my life hell for the 2 minutes it takes to clean up? At least her barbie is nice and clean...along with the floor in the middle of my hallway.

nope, they don't understand 'sorry'. they won't understand sorry until they understand empathy, and they won't understand empathy until... adulthood? some adults don't have it yet. so maybe she'll never be sorry. sigh.
