First, everyone should go here and read the article "Why I Can't Stop Reading Mormon Housewife Blogs".
I totally know how she feels. Granted, there are a few things on the checklist that I have. I have various crafting abilities, I am Mormon, married, young, and I do drink a fair amount of chocolate. Of course, some things don't quite fit (I have never seen Alan willingly wear plaid, and he has perfect vision, so the glasses are out) but most of the things are similar. Then we reach the disqualifications. I have no children, I am also constantly arguing with Alan over who gets to/has to be the breadwinner, and I don't have enough energy to make more than a microwave burrito most nights, let alone construct a new kitchen table out of used popsicle sticks.
My blog layout is not coordinated, I don't have a catchy crafty blog name, and I still have not posted about the myriad of things that have happened to me over the past few months because my house is never clean during the daytime, or if it is the Camera battery needs charging.
*note to self, must blog about Moving, Christmas, Fall Pictures, Cricut, and all of the other things that have happened*
But you know what? I am doing ok. Life is not what I planned, nor is it what the "Mormon Mommy Blogs" lead me to believe my life should be, but I am ok with that. My life is at a point where it has to progress in some way before I go insane. There is change that is needed, and I don't think it's going to go in the order I planned. The kids plan isn't working and I really need to move on. Alan is considering reenlisting, which scares me to death, but I have this feeling that we really need to look into it.
So here's to hoping that the future will turn out great, and that things will work out better for me than for this guy.
