house_wife*i've turned in to quite the domestic wizard over the past couple of weeks...or so i thought. just when i was getting all proud of my "house-wife" abilities* i had a bit of a meltdown today. i've been cooking meals and doing the laundry and other various domestic chores, and doing them well, mind you, when this afternoon happened. i tried to bake cookies, make amy dinner, clean the dishes, get ready for community group, "clean" the house for a guest we are having, and eat my own dinner all in the span of 45 minutes. it was a debacle. my ego was bruised...i was quite discouraged with the lack of progress made...the cookies didn't turn out so hot...i was late to community group. i think it all turned out ok in the end (all the cookies got eaten), but i sure felt like a failure.
*the term house wife, as it is used in this post, is intended as a term of respect. no one who has ever been, currently is, or ever will be at a stage in life where they could legitimately take the title of "house wife" should note well that i write this post with the greatest amount of respect possible.

i don't think you should have a bruised ego....you should just have the good sense to not try to do so much at once! i'm impressed with your willingness to try all of this....especially all at the same time!
Just another evidence that Superwoman is a myth, even when attempted by a man! If you could do just one of those things in 45 minutes without a glitch, that's really pretty good!
steve, seriously. the cookies were amazing.
failure might have been caused by you trying to be a wife, as opposed to a husband. on the other hand, i am super impressed with your abilities...and comiserate with you in all the things you didn't get done that you wished you had. this is how i feel at 5 pm every night of my life.
yeah, I ate like four of those cookies. so. they weren't debacle level!
