Do you ever have days when you feel so good you don’t want to ruin it by trying to accomplish something? I’m not too depressed to get busy, I’m too happy to get busy. I guess it wouldn’t fly at any office and it really shouldn’t at home either. I’m going to get a move on in just a minute but I will relish the happy nothing for a couple more seconds.
Speaking of office. Why is it that the mom who stays home to work is called a Stay at Home Mom, but the mom who goes to an office isn’t called a Leave Home Mom? Aren’t we all still mainly mom’s? I don’t really think it’s fair. I’ve started using an e-mail signature lately…I am:
Mary Kelso
Vice President of Home Management
The Kelso Family
Address:
Kitchen Phone:
Purse Phone:
Kris told me if I work real hard he’ll make me an Executive Vice President. Isn’t he the sweetest?
I know there are lots of titles and I usually fill in the blank with the term Homemaker. That’s what my mom used too. I always feel like it sounds so barefoot and uneducated, but that’s okay isn’t it? I don’t feel insecure about what I do or who I am…I just don’t like the title. Truth is…I am in socks right now and I only finished two years of college…so maybe the shoe fits. As long as it’s a comfortable and reasonably attractive shoe I don’t mind.
I’m going to stop rambling now and do that whole accomplishing something bit. I have a wonderfully adventurous list to tackle and it will not be conquered at the computer.
sounds like you’ve had a retirement moment. Probably the difference is you’ve got some cash available. But cash isn’t the key to happiness.
Accomplishing something every day is overrated. As are college degrees and arbitrary titles (all due respect to Kris’ brilliant incentive program)! Enjoy your moments when they come – they are few and far between – and revel in your be-socked glory! And don’t settle for anything less than cute shoes!
Haha…if you’re saying you’re in your socks, can you use the shoe fitting cliche? Just a random question from someone who doesn’t do “home management” every day, but knows that it’s a lot of WORK and definitely respects the ones that do. Take it from me, there are plenty of days that the shoes I wear and the degree I have feel overrated. By the way, do you get points for using the same word in a sentence 3 times like I did at the beginning? Well, I guess they’re homonyms, not exactly the same. Still, it was every other word. If you have a cardiac rhythm with every other beat a premature one, it’s called bigeminy. That’s what the your/you’re(s) were doing. K. I’m gonna quit typing now.
Cheryl – I think it depends on how thick the socks are. Ha! I shouldn’t be making jokes after 9:00 p.m.
