Pancakes and bacon.
Today is a pancakes and bacon day. That seems relatively simple but its important for a stay a home mom to fry up the bacon and make those pancakes for my family. I guess, its important to me to because often times I stress over 'what am I doing' and making pancakes and bacon instead of cereal for my family is one way to say, 'okay I'm doing something.' But cleaning house and changing diapers and cooking meals is something. Being with the kids is the biggest reward. I think my husband hates me because I am not working and he is. But this what we wanted. Sometimes things get out of alignment that way. I guess I just need to make pancakes and bacon and fill our tummies with something good. Mind you, keeping breakfast warm for my husband, since I don't know when he'll be done with chores, not a good idea according to him. Like it our not, pancakes can be warmed up. I don't know when he'll be in so I just fry up the bacon and man the griddle, in a girly sort of why. :)

I know this feeling. Sort of. I often get that from Aaron, about how he works all day (mind you, sitting at a desk, working at a computer and talking on the phone), and I get to "sit around with the kids all day." He doesn't really know. Then, because my part time job is part time, my 30 hours a week (that I spend stocking groceries and hauling milk) don't compare at all to his 40 hours a week (again, sitting at a desk). But, as you say, just doing "something" does a lot to make one feel better. To feel like you are doing and living. And the writing helps. But, for now, I hear that nap time is over and so is my writing time.
