I have a goal. I want to be an old fashioned Housewife. Yup. Unfortunately, I don't have the figure or the budget for the tiny waisted form fitting dresses of the 1950s. I can't sew. Cutting a pattern makes my eye start twitching.
I'm teaching myself to knit, though. Please don't laugh. I have a tangled mess of yarn and a lot of determination. I will prevail!
I do a lot of cooking at home. More lately since we are tightening the budget. I love to cook. I do wish I could get two men here to be a little more adventurous. We favor simple old-fashioned meals. There is certainly nothing wrong with that.
I really never wanted a career. I only want a home and a family. (And the occasional trip to Disney World...is that too much to ask!!!) I think a woman is capable of great things but I don't feel like accomplishing any of them right now. I love being domesticated. It is my choice and my right to stay home and follow in the footsteps of generations of women before me. I like the sense of history in the things I do. And I really AM accomplishing great things. Quietly and without a lot of fanfare.

I know what you are talking about on the housewife thing....isn't it funny how we end up loving what our parents deplore? I love anything 40's and 50's.....she thinks depressing on the 40's and wants nothing to do w/ it. Thanks for stopping by my blog...feel free to stop by anytime and share a glass of lemonade....
We are starting our homeschool in 2 weeks....we stay with the local school schedule since my hubby is a teacher. We ALWAYS go swimming at the city waterpark on the first day of school.....it is called our NOT BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY! Enjoy!!!
