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 sweeping the basement
It was so peaceful down here by myself. I was proud to be getting it all swept up, the laundry was off the floor and I had completed 3 loads. Washed, dried, folded and put away. The basement was looking better than it had in months. Suddenly I get the little mouse in the corner calling out "it's kind of cleaned up in here! Sometimes you don't always clean it up." I turn to find my 5 year old peeking down on me from on top of the elliptical machine she is pretending to use. Hmm, what can I say back to her? Well maybe if other people in the house helped me once in a while It would be clean more often." Take that five year old! Do you suppose she understood the underlying message in that statement? All she knows is that she now has more room to play with her tea set. Again, a mess I will be cleaning up. Time to put the broom away and bring down some more laundry. Goodbye floor, it was nice to see you again.
