be a good wife

...told me I was a WONDERFUL wife a few nights ago…if that’s not enough proof I don’t know what is!

Its so hard to be a good wife when my husband is never home. Well he is home, just as much as I am, but we work opposite each other. I remembered to call him last night while he was on his break and chat for a bit. I’m glad because I was passed out cold when he got home from work last night…I think he said hello but I really have no clue! I get to see him tomorrow during the day cause…”I’m off!” Whoo hoo!

Last night I arrived home at 8:00pm and there was a paper on my door that said the homeowner was coming to inspect the property to see if anything needed to be fixed. Our house is not dirty but its very cluttered and as soon as I called my husband at work and told him he panicked and said he’d rush home after work and pull an all nighter if he had to too get the house decluttered. From 8pm until the time he got home at 12:30am I had the whole house completely spotless. Bedroom, both bathrooms, kitchen, laundry area, living room, upstairs landing, and hallway. All he had to do when he got home was take out the garbage for me and sort through his room. He was very appreciative.

...I’m going to make sure Jon always has clean clothes, and clean dishes. Make sure the house is always clean and make sure I stay awake to listen to him talk about his day. Make sure I spend atleast 10 minutes everyday just listening. Surprise him often and try to get healthier because this inturn will help me feel better about myself and maybe not turn the lights off everytime he wants to get romantic..this bothers him a lot!

... Right now I am failing miserabley at this. I’m working all the time and dont get home until late so I just spot clean the house and hardly have time to do laundry. On a better note I’m doing a good job at listening more to his feelings and sort of letting him be an active part in all my decision making. This makes him happier!

If you ask my husband he’ll probably say I’m a good wife, but I know there are things that I could improve on and thats what I want to do…I want him to always be able to count on me. I think this is a constant process of becoming a good wife. I’ll be constantly learning how to tackle new obstacles and do new things and once kids are thrown into the mix it will be a whole new ball game of balancing kids and a husband.
