Forgive Me!

Forgive me, Forgive me for completely neglecting my blog and leaving it hanging for several weeks... The housewife life has proved to be busier than when I worked.. and more stressful... but absolutely more rewarding...

I don't have the energy to unpack my phone cords and hook up my iphone to get some photos on here.. but I will.. I promise. My sister and I went to IKEA yesterday, and Jungle Jim's on Saturday (Stayed the night in Cincinnati)... and I've yet to recuperate... I'm really dragging and can't seem to get my ducks in a row today... need to clean up the new purchases and find a place for them... but I can't... just haven't had the motivation yet... maybe I'll just go grocery shopping.. yeah... and add more bags to the mix.. what a great idea ;) Luckily, I have an ultra flexible husband who really doesn't mind a few things out of place for a day or two.. in fact, I bet he doesn't even notice when the house is mildly off kilter, he's a man.. it's not his job, so I don't think he pays any attention... Here's his mindset.. Food Good. Clean underwear good. football good. The end ;)

Speaking of football... I married the ultimate Cincinnati Bengals' fan... last night was the first pre-game season.. and they got stomped on by the Cowboys... but still, my ultimate fan stays solid and waits for that chance at the SuperBowl someday.. and I watch him, while he watches the games.. it's more entertaining than football.. oh how funny it can be to watch him :)

Well, after all that rambling- here's what I signed on to intentionally share..

What I've learned since April 22, 2010 (last day at Humana), as a housewife.

- - I don't like laundry.. not even a little bit.. but I do it.. begrudgingly.

- - the grocery stores aren't crowded during the day.. AMAZING! I had no idea... I was used to shopping at 9pm.. and it would always be crazy.. I love it!

- -  My hubby doesn't care if there is a gourmet meal of 17 dishes on the table for dinner.. in fact, he doesn't care if it's a pizza... he just doesn't want to have to deal with choosing what we have for dinner.. this is lovely..

- - The house gets messed up more quickly when I'm home all day, versus being gone all day... but (upside) it also gets cleaned faster, because I have more energy than I would after getting home from work :)

- - I thought I would be bored.. but everyday, there's something to do.. some kind of plans or necessities that must be accomplished.. never a day of nothingness.. I'm busy.. and I like it that way.

- - One tends to eat more when one is home alone all day near a stocked kitchen... so, one has decided to work at losing some weight ;)

- - here's the final (and most wonderful) thing I've learned about being home.. My husband loves it.. he says he hopes I never have to work a corporate job again... that he loves coming home to me, and loves having me here in case our families need anything...

I'm so thankful to have a husband that appreciates me, and appreciates what I do for him, and our family.. he's all that and a bag of chips ;)
