I spent the morning shampooing my carpets and then got excited that I am going to have clean carpets to enter in to the new year. How pathetic is that? I am excited about carpet.
Who have I become? Is this the life that I wanted?
I am a house- wife. A mom. I care for our home and our babies. My job duties include being responsible for the laundry in the closets, maintaining pleasant smells in our home, and re-stocking the food in the fridge.
But this is the life that I wanted. This is the life that I have chosen.
Regardless, it is still a bizarre reality when I sit back and examine this life that I have created.
My transformation from hard partying college co-ed to a Stepford wife is almost complete. That's a good thing... Right?... Right?!?
It's definitely a more satisfying and rewarding job :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think its a great thing and much more rewarding than the job I go to everyday. Its what I had always wanted in college, run a non profit program for kids with disabilities. Now I'm here and hating it, no raise in 4 years, no holiday bonuses and being pushed to be a person I really am not. I wish that some day I have a job as rewarding. Plus, I got excited about shampooing the carpets just a few weeks ago!!! There is something fun about cleaning house,lol
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a good thing since you seem like such a great momma to your little girl!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on clean carpets. In my home, when the grout is clean throughout the house, I jump for joy. It's like that as you get older. High five.
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful!! A house-wife/mama is one amazing, tough but very rewarding jobs! I feel ya on realizing how much things change. I got excited about buying giant rubbermaid bins to organize things in our spare closet. :) have a wonderful night!

Isn't it strange how the little things in life please us so much more than when we were younger.

I was just talking to my husband about this yesterday. I think being at home, though being with you kids is the most important thing you will ever do, we crave the connection with the outside world. Meanwhile, women who work crave to be at home with their kids. I think it is just human nature to want what we don't have sometimes.
ReplyDeleteP.s. My daughter spilled my hunter green nail polish on my white carpet on Friday and it will not come up....I am ready to rip it up and lay down wood flooring.
I think it's great! Love being a mom even though I hate laundry! Hah
ReplyDeleteEnjoy - as it passes quicker than you think. All of a sudden mine were all at school. A blink of an eye it seemed when I looked back, but of course it wasn't. I am learning to enjoy more each stage now as you kinda miss it when it's gone. I have a bit of a thing for clean carpets too - shhhh X
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel. My life from a combat deployed Marine to housewife and SAHM....
ReplyDeleteas you get older the craziest things make you happy and you ask for the most random gifts. i am not a mom and I love clean carpets! :)
ReplyDeleteTesting. 1.2.3. This is a test. If this were a real, ok I got nothing.
ReplyDeleteBeing a home maker is something that isn't an easy job and I bet you are wonderful at it!!

I get excited about clean carpets too! In fact, I'm jealous that yours are right now :D Happy New Year!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be a mom and a stepford wife like you :)!
ReplyDeleteIt's my dream to be a mom and a "stepford" wife! I feel so at home and complete when my home is clean and laundry is done. It must be the Stepford wife in me :)
ReplyDeleteHaha!!!! I have these moments on a regular basis, too... Sometimes, as I stand in line with two babes in the cart at Costco, I wonder who I've become...
ReplyDeleteAnd then they call me "mommy" and I know it's good.

The older I get, the more I get excited about clean carpets, appliances, housewares, etc. Funny how priorities change over the years.. Happy New Year!
