When it was decided that I wasn't going to work at all this year, my goal was to be the most amazing housewife ever. My goal was to be so fabulous Andrew would beg me not to go back to work. That so didn't happen.
For one thing, we simply can not live on his salary alone. I suppose technically that is not true. We can live on his salary alone, but we can not live AND save on his salary alone, and I like to be a saver. Thusly, I will be returning to subbing when school starts next year. I'm still not particularly excited about it, but I am grateful that Thomas is very excited that I'll be able to be in his building.
Then there is the fact that I am simply not a "super housewife". I'm not even sure that I'm particularly good about it. When I was a stay-at-home-mom and the kids were home all day, at least I could justify that I was doing things with them. Now though, I'm home alone all day, and yet I still hate to fold laundry, clean, and cook. I get these things done when they need to be done for the most part, but I'm am certainly not doing a spectacular job of it. It's just who I am.
Catherine and Robert will be home very soon, and then it's just one more day. I am so excited, even if I failed at my school year goal!
