more SAHM stuff<\/b>
\nOh, Pansy, I, too, once bought into the myth that SAHM moms have all the time in the world<\/a>. Then I gave birth, and learned The Truth!
\nTo be fair, when my mom was SAHM’ing, she also sent her kids to school, so she did have a few uninterrupted hours during the day.
\nHow yesterday went: all kinds of funny things. Mrs M. did not show, which worked out okay anyway, but that meant that I had all this coffee and banana bread with nobody to feed it to. (The kitchen guy was all business. He probably gets offered more goodies than Santa.)
\nThe kitchen guy had all kinds of ideas, including a pantry and a built-in table. A pantry! (Right now my pantry is in the family room.) Even the most basic cabinets will be a huge improvement over my current kitchen, which has cheap, undersized cabinets from 1966 (same vintage as the copper double oven; one oven is broken and the other oven is on the way out.) I appreciated that he did not try to hard sell me on fancy features and materials, but instead focused on practical things, like getting some working counter space. (Currently I only have about 24 inches of working space.)
\nOn today’s agenda: laundry, a trip to the library, and possibly a trip to Target. I got a fair bit of cleaning done yesterday, both in the kitchen (getting stuff out of the way) and around the house (in preparation for Mrs M, who is a real Minnesota old-school housekeeper.) Hambet did a great job picking up his toys in the family room. It is fun watching him “help.” He loves “washing the dishes”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
