My Life as a Wife and Mom.

There are times when I feel as if i could contribute more to my family. This may be me letting me get the best of myself with negative thought because at other times I feel as if I do alot for my family, of course my loving mother in law helps me realize this fact. I sometimes refer to myself as a woman who wears many hats. These hats that I speak of are referring to the many jobs and responsibilities as a wife and mom that I hold. Lets begin with how our mornings start. My alarm wakes me up for me to get up and make sure my daughter is awake and ready and prepared to begin her day. Most days I am responsible for combing and styling her hair. Now i am not sure if this was because their was a boy she liked because she has taken this job over herself once again. After seeing her off to school I then wake my husband up so he can dress and get ready for his day. While he is doing his morning ritual I prepare his lunch and remind him if what he may need to take with him that day. Shortly after the husband and daughter are off to their place of buisness, my day continues at the house. Now some people would think that being "just" a house wife and mom is so easy and dont understand how we housewives and moms may sometimes be stressed or be tired. Well let me tell you when you are a woman who wears many hats, you perform more then 1 job. I am not by any means complaining or saying that those who work have it easier or more difficult then us housewife/moms. I would just like to broaden perspectives and open a little window to give a glimpse of what we do with the day while the nest is empty for a few hours. Once the husband and daughter have been prepared for their day, my next to do is feed and water the dogs, cats, fish, and self. There are beds to be made and messes to be swept. And because the puppies and kittens are not quite trained yet, sometimes their are puddles to be cleaned. I sit down for a minute and think to myself " I feel like i should be doing more." I beleive my thoughts are curved more toward financially. I get up and continue with what is next. Taking meat out to thaw for dinner, washing,drying, folding, and putting away laundry, washing the dishes,organizing and putting away whatever may be out of place. There are tubs and toilets to clean, cat litter to scoop, yard to be maintanced, trash to be taken out and appoinments and other phone calls to be placed and somedays grocery shopping to be done. So not only do i wear the hats of a housekeeper, chef, kennel tech, drycleaner(laundy), dishwasher, personal shopper and Secretary. I am also responsible for being a taxi driver, i drive not only myself, my husband, and daughter where we need to go but also the mother in law and father in laws and whoever else needs a ride somewhere...i take them, except when my husband is home he then takes them because i dont care for driving honestly. Some people may read this and think oh boohooo.... Im not complaining about the many hats i wear. I very much so enjoy taking care of my family. I love my family. Growing up i had the misconception that housewife moms got to stay home and just watch tv all day. Boy what a life that would be to do whatever you want when ever you want....... Until i became a housewife mom! Would i change the job i have? No!  This is my life and i love doing what i do for my husband and daughter to make sure their day is easier and they have their essentials for their day to be complete. I do apologize if this blog is a bit long it is my first blog and so trial and error right. Thanks for reading. Tinaketchum2016@gmail.com
