I need a wife
June 29th, 2007 @ 11:29 am | blonde moments | Post a CommentYeah, I was a women’s studies major, and yeah, I said it: I need a wife! Or at least I need a 2nd husband so that my first husband can continue going to work at his new awesome job and my second husband can cook, clean, shop, etc. while I am at work.
Seriously, life with two working people is messy, hungry, tired, and sometimes (but I am so not pointing fingers at myself here) crabby. Okay, so all fingers are pointed at me. I admit it. Life was good when someone did my breakfast dishes after I left the house and had dinner ready when I came home.
I’m trying to focus on this: TWO INCOMES. Which means TWICE AS MANY PEDICURES!
And also? A house. Because we were approved for a mortgage that would put us in enough debt to make me question the meaning of life and then in a fit of panic run off to a developing country and live in a grass hut. It’s not too late - anyone want to join me?
If you want to live in a hut, call up my sister in Namibia. She may have space for a visitor!

What is it that is so glorious about income? Seriously . . . it’s just mind boggling in its awesomeness.
Yesterday, though, I too found myself wishing that one of us could stay home and scrub the floor or clean off the bathroom counter or do the laundry. And, I’m tired of being too tired to cook.

Yay for house husbands! That would be way cool. But yes, too bad there aren’t two — one to bring in income and another to keep the house straight, dishes washed, and food on the table. How ideal!

I need a wife too. I just remembered that i have a load of wet laundry in the washer from Monday. Yesterday, I had to sniff a steak to see if it was still OK, since i bought it on sale on Sunday (sale = about to expire) and then forgot to cook it on Monday. And Tuesday. And Wednesday.
Crap. Why can’t I keep up with things??

Welcome to my world, where everyone works and balls of dust/dog hair cluster and then roam at the edges of the rooms.

Oooh! A grass hut! I’m totally there - but only if they have pedicures.

Yay for getting approved! Congrats! Of course, I don’t know why people don’t get approved. I mean, the mortgage companies are essentially getting your soul, so every deal they make is a steal! The only difference is how much your soul is worth compared to other souls.

when i was in college, one of my jobs was a “wife” for a single mother professor. I did her bills, took her kid to the doctor, cleaned the house, shopping etc.
now? i want to hire a wife for ME!

What would you do for oh-so-lovely income if you ran off and lived in a grass hut? There would then be no pedicures, and I’m pretty sure that would make you sadder than gigantic mortgages and debt. Well, maybe.

Sounds like a plan. Maybe Craigslist can help?

Take a deep breath, and don’t try to watch your mortgage go down with every payment (because seriously, it feels like you are never going to make any progress). But that is what life is all about. I agree that 2 people working full time is hard, I can’t even imagine how crazy it is once you have kids….

Medallion is definitely cute and adult! I really want a bag in the peacock print for the summer, but I still haven’t gotten around to buying it. I had a feeling you would be in the VB club.

Yay for mortgage approval! Now to burn out your eyes by scanning endless real estate sites! I had to make myself stop thinking about how much freaking interest we would have. Very depressing.
Luckily for me, I have a stay at home husband during the summers (or as I like to say, a SAHH - sssssssssaaaahhhhhhhh). The only down side is that he is all talkative and energetic when I get home and all I can do is be like, “Must crash. And eat.”

Remember mortgage debt isn’t like regular debt. It’s “good” debt - whatever that means.
