So, the reason I am playing this song in the background (Wives and Lovers) is because I was just talking about it with a friend, and how silly it is! I listen to a radio station on-line all day -- it plays music like Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. I LOVE it! It can actually change my mood! It is really, really great! Anyhow, I had heard this song before and Charles and I both crack-up about it. :-)
I am all about making a happy home for our family and Charles, and I really do make a great effort to be "ready" for him to come home (clean home, food ready, etc.) However, he is usually greeted with a pony-tail, and jeans (if he is lucky!) :-) I try to brush through my hair (maybe) and mascara is a bonus. :-) I know, what a lucky guy! :-) Then, when he gets home, he rushes to the room and throws off his suit, and finds his pajamas! :-) It is time to relax and be home! YES!
It is a different time now . . . thank goodness! I am all about happy-homemaking -- I really am!! In heels and a dress?? Not going to happen!
I just listened to that song. How funny! Apparently there aren't kids in that household either. It does make a few good points, though. I guess I should make a litte more of an effort with myself!
ReplyDeleteI timed it once and it takes me 5 minutes to put on make-up and do my hair! :-) So why do I not paint my face more often? My excuse is that I am saving money by not using make-up during the week! :-) Plus, half the day I am out walking/running and getting all sweaty. I do shower. :-) Sunglasses are my new best friend when I go to the kids school! Anyhow, I am not frumpy -- I am frugal! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's like reading about...ME! We are the same way. I always wanted to be this cute, little mom with a stylish wardrobe and cute hair, but really- who has the time or money for those silly things! At least we know our hubbies love (and like) us just the way we are!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny . . . Charles could not tell I put my face on the woman in the picture (and Sammi as the girl). :-) Don't believe everything you see in a picture!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice the picture had you and Sammi in it, either! Was it always like that?
ReplyDeleteSunglasses are my favorite disguise, too. A little lipstick and some sunglasses, and I'm ready to take James to the park or go pick up Julia from school!
