Christmas break
So, I have had time off of work since the 23rd of December. I spent 5 days at home in KC with family and friends. Had fun catching up with old friends, playing Hold 'em with the family on Christmas day, cruising through the Chicago street lights, and doing a little bit of shopping. I came back home to the ville on Tuesday evening with every intention of cleaning my house, puttin away Christmas stuff and being overly productive. So here it is Friday and I did absolutely NOTHING on Wednesday or Thursday. In fact, both days I slept past 11am! It has been years since i have done that, so that was great!!!! However, my vacation is almost over (i go back to work on Tues)and i had not really accomplished anything besides relaxing and reminiscing!(which is not all bad). So today I determined to get up early and get started on things. well, if you consider 11am early, lunch with some girls from work, and paying property taxes "getting started on things" then i did great!!! Actually I did get some cleaning done and some Christmas presents put away. I have a feeling this is what it is like to be a housewife;dishwasher going, washer and dryer going, piles of laundry on the floor, cleaning, and baking cookies. . .PLUS having some screaming kids running underfoot.Scarily, that does not sound too horrible. Anyways, just a little update on the past week or so. Hopefully i've convinced some other friends to join the blogging world so that I can have more interactions...but thanks to my faithful readers.

Housewife not getting up till 11, I don't think that is what most house wives does. Call me carzy but that schedual does not sound anything like what most, non-lazy, housewifes I know have. I think that being a successful housewife is very difficult job that requires more dedicaion, effort, and time than most 'professional' jobs require.
uh, the whole getting up 11am was not to be included in the housewife duties. I do think it will be somewhat difficult to feel that I am actually "making a difference" or being "more valuable" than working. I know that that is crazy because you are investing in your children but I just think that is a mindset that will need to be broken. One that I want to break. A word of advice to all you women out there who want to have children. STAY HOME WITH THEM! there are a bunch of wackos out there. If at all possible, lock yourself in a giant compound and never let your children leave. People might say you are crazy but you will not be as crazy as some of those nuts out there...maybe i really should get out of this field...
