Housewifing: a verb

The online dictionary defines Housewifing as:

A verb of housewife

It defines a verb as: a word that conveys an action. Housewifing= to housewife

So, this is a blog about the adventures of me, Jami.

A housewife, housewifing. (ish)

To be fair, I'm a terrible housewife.

I have heard that one single human can cook, clean, feed multiple children ( multiple times a day!), wipe boogies and butts, clean and dress oneself, discipline the children, use proper grammar, craft, create, teach, fold laundry, pay attention to the dog and the husband, put on makeup, get a manicure, vacuum, get to preschool on time, and workout. I just don't believe it's actually possible.

A feat of super human strength, and I don't trust anyone who makes it look easy.

One day, I said to myself, "You know what you should do?"

Then I ignored myself when I suggested back, " mop the floor."

" start a blog that follows the ridiculous situations you get yourself into while housewifing."

I replied to myself, "If it delays folding that Mt. Killamanjaro of laundry, I'm in."

I am a committed wife and mother, and give my all everyday. I just don't want to beat myself up when I miss the mark of perfection.

I Believe that a great many women ( and many GREAT! Women) feel the same way about housewifery and motherhood. It ain't easy. So let just have a good sense of humor about it, and support each other..... Yoga pants, misbehaving children, burnt dinner, and all!

Welcome!
