I'm sitting here on my bed folding laundry when the topic for my first blog post pops into my head...
Is there such a thing as a "Suzie homemaker bug?"
I have never really cared about clutter being around my home or bedroom. I think of it more as organized chaos. I actually kind of liked it; everything was out in the open and I could find anything I needed with out much hassle... BUT now that I am married, I find that the clutter I once thought of as organized chaos is driving me nuts! I came home from work one day last week and was hit by this sudden and out of character urge to clean everything around me. I started with the kitchen... cleaning the counters, cleaning out the fridge, unloading and re-loading the dishes. I then continued to start the laundry, which is something that my husband, Kenny, usually does (well he starts and switches and I fold). After the laundry is started I go into my bedroom and notice that there is just way too much mail that needs to be filed and proceed to do that. Then, I go into the bathroom. I get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor. I clean the toilet, and then the bathtub and shower. I then go and switch the laundry.... I also vaccuum my bedroom, clean off my night stand, and start to dust. Before I even noticed what I had started, I was dusting! I dispise dusting.
How is it that I could accomplish all that with out even realizing it? All those pesky chores that I hate to do were done with in an hour of me getting home from work.
I also hate to cook. I like to bake, but cooking is not something I have ever enjoyed. For some reason though, I have found myself thinking that I would like to make certain dishes I see for my husband. I would like to try out certain recipies and maybe even make a family cook book on shutterfly. Those of you that know me should close your mouths... you might catch a fly.
Is there something in a woman's DNA that goes off once the wedding band is slipped on their left ring finger that says something like, "Oh, it's time to cook, clean, and make babies"? Is a woman really made for housework, or am I going crazy? All I know is that I have been hit with some sort of "Suzie homemaker bug," and I'm not sure what to think about it!
