I had a revelation describing my sentiment one day while cooking, cleaning, etc. Although I meant it in a demeaning way at the time, I laugh at it now and am proud to be it.

I’m cooking and cleaning as fast as I can. It’s amazing what I accomplish during the final hour before my husband gets home from work. It seems I work better under pressure! I like to have things prepared and nice after his 12 hour shift. The days are demanding for homemakers too- despite common belief! Sheets to change, mopping, children, errands, try to look halfway decent, homework, diapers, Dr. Appts., groceries, animals, all  balanced like the Cat in the Hat- right down to the Goldfish teetering on top! I suspect some Moms have had the same revelation-Moms who often times feel as I did that day, admit it or not! My revelation is summed up in 5 words: “MY LIFE DEFINED IS WIFE.”
