Just like any job, there are definitely things that I do not enjoy about being a housewife. Dishes and laundry are officially on my hit list (they get together at night and figure out ways to thwart my attempts at reducing them). Sometimes there is no motivation to change out of my pajamas. Having to vacuum and mop constantly lest my little girl choke on a random tidbit of what-have-you left on the floor isn't always fun. But on the flip side, there are things that I love. Absolutely love. That I never thought I'd ever love, but I do. Such as...
...seeing a mess of baby toys covering a floor with my baby plopped happily in the middle of it
...spying hair bows and elastics on every surface in every room
...cleaning up a little baby pee-pee on the carpet
...washing cloth diapers (the only exception to my laundry aversion)
...making baby food (but not cleaning up the dishes associated with it)
...taking the dogs and my baby for a walk every day
...getting splashed and soaking wet while my baby's in the bath
...cuddling with her in the middle of the night when she wakes up
...cleaning up the trail of Cheerios that meanders through our house (and yard and car and...)
...rescuing her from panicking due to getting tangled in her clothes
And there are more things. Many more things. So despite never thinking I'd ever love being a housewife and stay-at-home-mom, there is absolutely nothing more wonderful and rewarding than this job. I am so lucky to be able to do it.
