My secret dream is to be Laura Petrie
I took the day off work yesterday so I could clean my house, since I'm having 'company' today. It was, oddly enough, fun. Made me rather wish I could be a traditional 'housewife'. Especially if I were like Laura Petrie, and looked cute in capri pants, and had a charming husband that sang duets with me.
Really though, I enjoyed my day. Charlie was at school, husband was at work, and I got tons done. It's just so hard to really clean on weekends mostly because I don't want to. I'm at work all week, and the weekends are the only time I get to do fun things, really. I try to 'clean as I go' during the week, but it's a bit like moving a mountain with a salt spoon at times, especially when my husband seems to be blind to the fact that there is a a dishwasher right next to the sink, thinks that there is a magic fairy who comes in the night to remove empty glasses and used tissues from the end table next to the couch, and that laundry will clean itsself if dropped in a heap on the bedroom floor. So taking a day that would normally be spent at work and doing the housewife thing felt good. Wish I could do that once a week. (Actually I wish I could hire someone to do it for me, but that's not gonna happen!)
So my house is ready to have people over, and all I have to do today is get the food ready, which is the fun part.
