...and sometimes when it is cold outside, I would love so much to stay in my pajamas and sip hot coffee all day--but then of course that is the day someone unexpected comes to my door...
I have to shower everyday and shave----I never want my husband to think that just because we are married I have gotten comfortable and not care about myself. When I feel good, I do good and when I do good the house runs more smoothly and everyone is a lot happier. I once read somewhere that you should treat your home as if Jesus was coming over---well I am not sure my home will ever be that perfect, but it is clean and neat and it is a nice haven for my husband to come home too every day....and my children too of course.
I was listening to the radio and the person on the radio said, do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life--that is actually how I am feeling right now--I absolutely love what I am doing. My husband used to say "If Mama isn't happy, no one is happy" Well, I take that to heart and really try to be the best I can--and I am happy, I just try not to let things bring me down--I have noticed that when I am in a funk--I think of all the wonderful blessings in my life--but there are days when I am sad, when I think of my mother or my dear friend that are no longer here with us--and then I have to remember I will see them again.
I love getting out my Household Notebook and making lists and planning menus and printing off pretty poems and gentle reminders about how to be the best wife and mother I can be.
My sweet husband has taken Alexis to the Birthday party and great big *Bounce House*--I turned my ankle the other day so I would not be too much fun---it has
Tony came to me today and apologized for his actions this week--but he is still on restriction--he is mad, but I can't just waiver this for a simple sorry--I need to see actions with his words. I did tell him I appreciated the applogy.
Little Kevin is napping so I am going to go to the the Prairie Homemaker now and see what everyone is up to there--I love that website:)
I love your outlook, Julieann! By the way, I shave EVERY day for my hubby, too. And we are going through similar things with our oldest son. While I appreciate an apology, it doesn't take away the punishment as they had hoped. Parenting is hard. Rewarding, but hard.
ReplyDeleteI love you positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteI shave everyday too and not for anyone but me. When I don't I feel dirty.
I do like to lazy around in my pj's on a rainy cold day. But 99% of the time I force myself to get both kiera and myself dressed as its just a more productive day for both of us.
Usually on a rainy day when I want to clean clean clean or organize the house I may not get dressed other than yoga pants and a top.
I do believe in do what you love. At the very least, love what you do. :)
Happy saturday.
What a wonderful attitude to have. I'm working hard on that. Us wives/mothers set the tone around the home. Have a great week!
