I’ve never thought of myself as “super housewife” and doubt I ever will (Jo will probably second that, haha). For awhile there, while I was working in a super fast paced work environment for 50 to sometimes 70 hours a week, I just lacked the time to do much of anything on my days off. After being laid off (a very long story which involves a previous work transfer with Jo gone bad), Jo and I made the decision that I would just stay at home. He wasn’t feeling the “house husband” thing, I guess.. haha.
I do my best in regards to being a housewife though - keeping things tidy around here, making and packing his lunch for work, doing laundry and on a few occasions each week, cooking. Cooking is something he actually enjoys, so it’s a “chore” we share.
Usually I can be rather creative when it comes to whipping something up but after our grocery run last night, I don’t think my creative side is going to help. See, I’ve always been told that you shouldn’t do grocery shopping while hungry and until last night, that had never been an issue for Jo and I. Note the “until last night”. We were both nearly ’bout starving when we stopped in at Superstore for groceries. This led to the purchase of items we normally wouldn’t buy on an actual grocery run.
Now I’m stuck trying to figure out a dish to make for dinner tonight, out of taco flavored chips (Jo’s), Aero bars (candy, Jo’s) and Reese’s peanut butter cups (mine). lol

i wish i was more “housewifey” sometimes but i’m just not. i cook when i can, clean when i can, and try my best, but i find i don’t have the energy to be a super housewife… just a normal one.
of course… i guess it’s more of a “housegirlfriend” but still.

I wanna be a housewife as well. But now I’m not with my husband anymore, it’s kind of hard to do that now. He always wants to get back together but I just won’t do it. I can’t be with someone I don’t love anymore.
