The House Wife...

I chose the option of staying at home with Bree and becoming a house wife nearly two years ago. I wouldn't have it any other way, but sometimes cleaning up the same things, from the same spots...gets kind of old.

For instance, the hubby's socks from the previous day of work. They are usually strewn out on the living room, in front of the love seat. His shoes, they are always either in the door way of our bedroom, or in the middle of the living room. They aren't just sitting there side by side, or off to the side. Nope, they always looks as though he just walked right out of them! If I were to trip on one of them in the door way, I'd trip on the other too, because they are spaced just right that it would be possible to trip on both of them.

Paul's side of the bed is the same way. His shorts always look like they just fell off of him, his shirt laying next to them, more socks and boxers, sometimes a towel, and the remote control. All of this on a 2 foot wide path between the bed and the wall. I don't really understand it, and sometimes I dread even making the bed for this very reason. Why is the remote control on the floor? He has a bedside table. Is it really that much easier to throw the remote on the floor rather than just lay it on the bedside table?

Then there are Bree's little messes everywhere. Spoons, and sippy cups are found in her little "sit-n-push" car's hide away under the little plastic seat. Baby dolls in the bathroom, old shoes that I have kept of hers in the living room, blocks in the kitchen floor, diapers that she pulled from the diaper hanger strewn all over her bedroom...

Why don't house wives get paid?
