My thoughts on being a wife....
Screw independence. The wife should be dependent upon the love and adoring faces of her family when she pulls out the perfectly tender meatloaf and the just right browned cornbread. Screw independence I think.
And then reality sets in. Instead of adoring faces I have screaming, fighting children. While the oven is still pre-heating for the meatloaf that I barely had time to prep, I think again, throw some foil over it and call Pizza Hut. Thank goodness they deliver. From my fighting tikes, I grab the obscure McDonald's cheap ass toy that they put in their Happy Meals to piss moms off and throw it atop the fridge, screaming back: ENOUGH GUYS DANG IT. I am beginning to feel less like June Cleaver and more like Lois from Malcolm in the Middle. Then again, one of the kids reminds me of their Christmas party and off I go to my crafting cart (yes I have a cart filled with crafting goodies, DON'T judge me lmao). And am able to pull off a perfectly coiffed miracle. Perhaps there is a little June in me after all.
Did any of my other newlywed wives have preconceived notions that they are dispelling after becoming a wife? I still try my hand at baking. My latest disaster was almond peanut brittle which came out more like almond caramel taffy-ish buttery vanilla sweetness. Yep that "good".
I have still been quite the paper crafter and was able to pull out Christmas gifts for the kids' teachers from my secret stash of gifts (yes I am that mom). However, I can't keep the house clean to save my life. Do any of you have tips on how to organize and stay that way? The best thing that I have had so far is the 15 minute timer cleaner. I seem to not be able to do it consistently. Maybe that should be my New Year's resolution: use the 15 minute timer cleaner each day to enjoy a cleaner house... or maybe I will say screw the clean house and make love to my hubby admist the unfolded clothes in baskets on the floor.
Hmmmm to be a wife...

I'm having a rough time balancing life & cleaning too. When I lived alone my place was spotless. Loved it. Now it's a hot mess - and we don't even have kids yet!! If you figure out how to do it?? Clue a girl in wouldja? :)
A spotless home?! NEVER lol!!! I will let you know if the 15 minute trick solves it. I actually have no excuse for living in the hoarder's jungle. I swear if you took a pic of my house I'd be on that show. I haven't had the heart to take the wedding stuff out (hubby is taken it to storage now). I am clearing out a spot for the tree as we speak lol!!
