I have always thought that once I quit my job and became a stay at home mom that I would have lots of time to become the domestic goddess I know is in there somewhere. I just realized that I am practically not working at all and I still haven't shifted my brain to homemaker. I don't know if it's my being tired all the time that I come up with excuses not to do things or if I am just resisting because it's not that fun. Probably the latter.
I have been trying to remember that now I have to be a new kind of person that I have never been before. When have I ever had nothing I HAVE to do but take care of my home and family. I am excited and I am determined to get good at it. Hopefully, even before Patton gets here.
It's funny that it doesn't come as naturally as I thought it would but I guess all good things come to those who work hard for them.
Anyway, I don't know why this has been on my mind so much (nesting maybe?) but thought I would throw it out there!
I think your doing a great job! Your house is always nice when I'm there. Plus when you have a little person it becomes higher priority because if you don't clean things up, they get into it all.
ReplyDeleteI love this post, because I've always felt the exact same way! And it's only recently that I've realized that having a baby is not going to be "automatic amazing cook and decorator" launch time. I'm working on that stuff now of course, but I feel like I never have the time! I guess it will always be schedules and making time and planning crafts to do, but just with a different mode than working OUT of the home all the time :)
