Since I am also a suburban housewife and mother of 3 wonderful children, I thought I'd like to have a page on what that means to me. I also think its great that my kids will have a record of what I do with my life (its not all baking and laundry), how I raise them to be the crazy kids they'll likely turn out to be (they'll have documented proof on where I went wrong...might not be such a good idea), and how I make it work, with the greatest guy in the world! (I know you're gagging right now, but trick number one to being a happy housewife is...if you keep telling yourself the same things...eventually you'll believe them! LOL! (Just joking honey, you ARE great!)
I've been a Suburban Housewife for 16 years now so I won't bore you with all the details of how I got to this point, but I'll start by adding some of the favourite things I do, to make my life so much fun.
One of those things is cheering for my favourite teams!
Funny story...when my daughter, who was 11 at the time, was playing for her school basketball team , she approached her coach after a particularly long bench warming stint. She told him that if he didn't put her on the court, her mother was going to start yelling. He benched her for the rest of the game and he was giving me the death stare from across the gym. After the game, I asked her why her coach was giving me the evil eye and she told me what she had said.
"Why did you say that?" I asked incredulously
"Because you always yell at sporting events" she replied
"It's not yelling, its called cheering!"
"Not the way you do it!"
(my children love me, my children love me, my children love me!)
