It’s the laundry, trash, general cleaning day. Weekend was good, laid back and slow paced. Leo made a good dinner and everybody loved it. Brandon said he was amazed that we knew what to cook when I called them in the morning.
That is the difference between having to go to work and staying home for me. I can space out the rest of the chores over the week instead of cramming them all into the weekend. Although we still have to do some food shopping on the weekend – which Leo enjoys doing, we don’t feel hurried and we could take our time deciding what to get.
The days still haven’t slowed down yet. Even though I don’t have a timeline for the things I need to do, the list just doesn’t seem to go down for me. I know that the maintenance chores will cycle back all the time, they will never end. But I was hoping for a sense of control, so far, it hasn’t come yet. I need to learn at a late age how to manage my life and achieve a sense of worth when you don’t hold a job outside the home. I really don’t miss working at all, I just need to internalize the ‘theory’ I know in my head that a ‘house wife’ has her worth maintaining a home instead of a job.
