Just One day in the life of a SAHM

Fern's picture

The tinny ring of an alarm clock jars you out of bed at 6 a.m.

Cat is clawing at the window
Your hair is standing on end
You're freezing your a double s off.

you get the house warm
Kids up
Breakfast cooked
Clothes laid out
10 minutes til time to head out the door
You look down and realize
Your hair is still standing on end
You're wearing your gown
And your shirt isn't ironed.

Take'em to school in your wrinkled shirt
Come home, do dishes & cook breakfast for DH who just arrived home from work.
Do dishes again
DH climbs into the freshly made bed so now you have to "be quiet" so he can sleep.

Oh Glory. . .a little computer time.
A little TV time. . .I do mean little
One commercial into trading spaces and DH
wakes hungry for lunch.

Fit in bill paying, laundry and cleaning.
At 2:30, its time to go to pick the kids up. You open the door to find your parent standing on your front porch. Feel like a heel, but gotta go.

Home at 3:15, make snacks (yeah. . teens too), fight over homework and feeding the dogs.

Start supper
fold clothes while talking with needy friend and supper burns
DH and kids whine
do dishes
phone rings
overnight company coming tomorrow
no clean sheets
laundry all over guest bed

At last, days end and
you get the cold shower

Don't forget to fill in the blanks with grocery shopping and sex.
