I am a self proclaimed couch potato. So as you can imagine this writer’s strike is killing me. Luckily we have Dish so we have a dvr so i have some shows that i can still watch. I have the entire season of K-ville, moonlight and Cane but for some reason I can not watch them yet. I know with the new year at least one of my favorite shows is “Psych”. That show is hilarious!!! I can not wait til it is back own. No matter how i am feeling it always makes me laugh. I am hoping “Chuck” will be coming back to. That show is different and entertaining. And for once a show I like is not cancelled. This past fall I was hoping Jericho would return but now with the writers strike I doubt if it will ever come back. My DH has been wondering when Lost is coming back on so I was happy to tell him it is coming at the end of January.
Ok, i did not post yesterday even though I was online. Why? I started surfing. I found some really cool moms who blog and then i visited the sites they like and so on and so on. It is totally addictive and then i forgot what I was looking for online in the first place!
Well yesterday I started off really good. My plan was go through all the loads of laundry that piled up. By 9pm last night I finished about 11 loads. Would you believe most of the clothes were not mine? I swear it is like my kids change clothes 2 or 3 times a day.!! So i am like 85% done.
Now I will give myself a little credit, while washing clothes I was multi tasking. I also fixed(hopefully) a virus problem on my computer, watched a 24 marathon, cooked a quick dinner for the kids, helped K.K with a ds game she was playing, cleaned my room(98% done), listened to Tj talk about dinosaurs(he loves them!)tried to help Nannah on the kids computer(running slow), and cleaned the living room(at least 3 times).Almost forgot, during all this i have a migraine. So then around 11pm, my dad called and wanted to test his webcam so i tried to hook up mine which would not work. Next thing I know i am walking him through how to make a avater. Finally around 1am i figured I needed to get to bed. My dh went to a bucks game so soon as he came home he was out. And during all this, I forgot to eat!!!
Hopefully today will be better.
Ok, I was surfing the net looking for interesting stuff and came across this article on wikipedia.
This article is said to be not true and a urban legend. I still read it because I was curious.I love my husband with all my heart but I know this is not the type of wife I want to be.
How to be a good wife
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.
Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
Don’t greet him with complaints or problems.
Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
I was reviewing my “blogs” and found this on one I do not use much anymore and decided to repost this.
I was watching The View as I do every morning.(unless of course I get behind on watching my dvr!) Happiness was one of the hot topics and it got me to thinking. How do i define happiness? and I really had to think. It so easy to immediatly say what you think people want to hear. I mean of course the obvious things make me happy. The health and happiness of people I love and care about. But what little thing brings a smile to my face?
So here is my list:
a really good book I stumbled across
when my husband is proud of me
getting great bargins ( i always remember my best bargins!)
my computer working with no problems (now this is rare)
a really good shake
buying hair ( i get excited every time i walk into the hair store and see all those wigs)
a challenging video game that i finally beat
when my husband tells me he loves me
when my daughter says I am her best friend
when my kids hug me
when people accept me for who I am
a really good movies that makes me think
just being silly
Christmas
pretzels from Sam’s Club (my favorite snack)
fries from JJ Fish or the fries from checkers with bacon and cheese
shopping for my kids
