What if.....

What if.....

...every person helped another person in need...
...no one lied or cheated ...
...there were no wars...
...people didn't judge and bully others...
...people really tried to make marriage last...
...ALL parents actually tried to be good parents ...
...everyone could me more humble and appreciative of what they have...

I actually believe all these things are possible... just not in this life. I believe in God above. And I know that if we live our lives the best we can and put our faith in our loving, forgiving God we will be rewarded for our good behavior.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16

The Housewife

I am really so sick of being the housewife. Its not even that I mind doing the the things that a housewife does. Its the fact that I know what everyone thinks.

To everyone else, I am the lazy a$$ that doesn't want to work. I am the b!tch that sits at home all day and night doing nothing and spending my husbands paycheck.

This couldn't be further from the truth. No I do not work and we don't have a child to take care of, but I still do things...

-cleaning (washing dishes, vacuuming, scrubbing the bathroom, picking up...)
-laundry (folding, hanging, putting away)
-grocery shopping (this includes clipping coupons and finding the best deals)
-finances (keeping track of our money, paying bills, budgeting)
-cooking (Yes, I ACTUALLY COOK. I'm not talking about boxed mac n' cheese)

So no I do not have a job. Yes, I do spend my husband's paycheck, but I spend the majority of it on things we need and bills. I'm just so sick of being the insignificant housewife that "does nothing".

Also, I would like to add...

This is not my choice. If it were up to me, I would be out there earning a paycheck just like my husband. I lost my job at Walmart for personal reasons and finding a job since has been difficult for various reasons.

Regardless, I am not not what people think I am and it hurts me to know that they feel this way.
