My first week of housewifery

So, my new job of housewife started last Monday, September 22.

So far,

• I haven't broken any dishes, even though the last place I lived without a dishwasher saw the death of at least four glasses, all in less than one year.

• I started wearing my apron, because washing dishes can be messy.

so many dishes...

• I found out how long it takes to sweep a house that doesn't have any carpets whatsoever.

• I made my husband breakfast 3 of those work days and sent lunch with him a few times.  I also found out he prefers to take cold lunch because he never knows where he will be when he is hungry for lunch.

• I have begun to question how we can have a need to do so much laundry, and then realized for the last two and half months I had been doing laundry for one person, not two.

• I've made seven trips to town, all in three days.

• I found out what it means to go and get water.

• And I have made dinner, fairly consistently.

1. Monday:  Soup (broccoli & cheese, bag mix) and salad
2. Tuesday:  Tortellini Soup
3. Wednesday:  Tacos
4. Thursday:  Chicken Fajitas (which we had twice the first week of dating)
5. Friday:  Pizza (frozen, but doctored up with sauteed veggies and goat cheese - yum!)
6. Saturday:  Sloppy Joes & cornbread
7. Sunday:  Leftovers!
8. Monday:  30-Minute Stove-top Lasagna, and cake (boxed) with frosting (homemade)
9. Tuesday:  Leftovers (me) & frozen pizza (him)

And now I'm working on a shopping list for our next trip to town.  I do want to try baking bread, and I would really like to try making tortillas...  maybe I need to check out Pinterest for some ideas...
