Lazy Housewife


My co-blogger, Amy, got a wonderful gift for her wedding anniversary. Filbert got her a maid for a day! What an awesome gift. (Can you see my face turning a dark shade of jealous?)

I rarely pull out the vacuum or dust my house. Sometimes, when I don't fall asleep right away, I vow to myself "tomorrow will be the day!" But I rarely pull through and make good on my vow. Ask my husband, Mr. Bean. He'll tell you that most days when he's at work, I don't do much more than empty the dishwasher. Other days, he comes home and I have boxes for him to throw in storage, clean countertops, dusted furniture, paid bills, clean cars, filed paperwork, and a myriad of other household chores completed. I tend to do all my work in one day instead of spreading it out over a week or month.

I really should be more vigilant in keeping house. I am sure it would make my husband happier. I just get caught up in playing with String Bean or seeing what the ladies on the View are arguing about today. Before I know it, its 4:30 and I expect Mr. Bean home within the hour.

Maybe tomorrow I'll come up with a plan for tackling the duties of the stay-at-home-mom. (The keyword is "mom" not "housekeeper." *wink*)
