Thursday

Get it Together Jen!

Ok, so these past few days I've come to realize... I am a horrible housewife. Every morning this week I've woke up and told myself "I am going to clean this house from top to bottom when I get home from work tonight and have a warm tasty meal waiting for John." Well, by time I get in the door, feed the kids, straighten up the walking areas and get the kids in bed, I find myself just wanting to sit and watch a few DVR'd TV shows or sit at the computer. By time I get my lazy buns off the couch (or chair), John calls to ask, "what's for dinner?" Not only do I NOT have the house clean but there is NO dinner made for him. I'm truly a lucky girl to have such a wonderful husband who doesn't mind making himself a can of soup and pbj sandwich for dinner.

Well...today I've decided that I really need to make more of an effort to get my act straight and stop relying on the generosity of my friends and family. It's taken way longer than I had hoped, but I promise I'll find a way to make all these hats fit my head. Thank you everyone for the many ways you have lent John and I a hand. It doesn't go unnoticed and we appreciate it more than you know.

Well, I have decided that you are not crazy. I feel the same way. Unless you are a stay at home mom, we are all faced with these issues. I am sure John understands that there are some sacrifices to be made if you both need to work. You may want to try making meals for the week on the weekend. When you are making weekend meals, double it and freeze it. Take it out before you leave for work and put it in the fridge. Nuke it when you arrive home and you have a nice warm tasty meal for everyone. Then you have extra time to clean.
