Housewife? Uh, Yeah Sure… That’s ME!

Apr 6, 2011

I confess wholeheartedly I’m a terrible housewife. The whole Desperate Housewives thing is just not me. Now don’t get me wrong, I HAVE tried to be like that but after awhile the routine bores me and I drop it.

I wish I could be more like Bree Van De Kamp¹ with her can do attitude but honestly? I just don’t have that mentality. I don’t believe that a woman’s sole job is to take care of the house and the children. I think it’s a group effort between husband and wife and so my attempts to be like the Bree Van De Kamp’s of the world die miserably with my realization that that is just not who I am.

If I’m honest with myself, I’m more like the Edie Britts of the world– just much less sleazy.

The thing is, I’d like to be somewhat like Bree Van De Kamp. While I don’t want to completely lose myself in the housewife mentality, I do want to have the focus to want to do things and do them. A lot of the times I get sooo excited about something and then something happens and my focus is diverted on to something else.

Then there’s also the fact that I married someone who seems to have the same issues I do. As much as I love Robby he’s just as ADD as I am when it comes to things and that doesn’t help. We could probably make this house so much more homely if we’d both take the time to focus on the tasks we want to accomplish.

I may not be a Bree Van De Kamp but I do know that I have the ability and the choice to make some changes in my life. This is one thing that I want to change and one thing that I am going to start focusing. It’s not going to be easy, I’ll be the first person to admit that but then again change never is.
