So. I've only "technically" been a housewife for 2 weeks. Now that our house is 98% completely unpacked and put together, I have run out of purpose. I've become one of "those" mothers who posts her every move on facebook because A) I'm bored... and B) I'm proud that I've accomplished another thing in my day and feel the need to share it with whoever is interested.
This morning, I woke up early with Nico and got Ava ready for "school" (aka, daycare.) We decided to bite the bullet and pay the small price for her to have social interaction. Once Stevie was on the bus and Nico and Ava were gone, I looked at Victoria and said "Now what?" I made all the beds. I put the dishes away. I took a shower, blow dried my hair, and even painted my fingernails. I can count on 2 fingers the number of times I've painted my fingernails in the last 12 years. Today, they're purple... woah.
V and I went to the mall. I felt the need to buy something "business-y" in case I have an interview or something I have to dress up for. Buying nice when you're fat, sucks. Shopping for me, sucks... I'd much rather buy pink and frilly for my children. Maybe that explains why I'm still wearing stuff that's over 10 years old and elastic!
I went grocery shopping yesterday... I decided to bake a cake. I made dinner for the 3rd or 4th time in 6 years. Who am I?
Today, I sat down and watched movies in between self-assigned tasks. I haven't had time for this stuff since, like, maternity leave. Painted fingernails and movies... and I still feel like I'm forgetting to do something!
Monday, I take a polygraph to finalize the background investigation process for the position I applied for as a 911 dispatcher. I also received a message today from a friend who said she got me the hookup with Human Resources at a local hospital. I applied there to be a scheduler - something I LOVE doing... Praying they give me a chance. Someone! ANYONE! I enjoy time with my children, and being there for my family.... but there's a bigger purpose for me - I know it.
