I never wanted to be a housewife...

I'm feeling more like my old self again. I had completely underestimated how much of my self identity I placed in my job, and not having a job has really created a void that the Oreos are just not filling! It doesn't help when my husband makes comments like, "I thought the house was going to start looking more clean since you're not working?" To which I start sobbing and screaming that I did not sign up for this $%&# and I never wanted to be a housewife. I once did consider the life of a housewife, but only in a dream, and in this dream I was filthy rich and had maids and housekeepers. In reality I am not cut out for it .

On a positive note, today was my first day as a mentor through Kids Hope USA. Every Tuesday I will be meeting Isaac. He is a 3rd grader at Lake Center (the same elementary school I was working on) and he is really cool. He told me he has never had a mentor before and I told him I have never had a mentee before, so this is new to us both. I left him today unharmed and he had learned no new swear words, so pretty much I did great!
