I wonder if I would make a good housewife? Not that I'm considering a move into domestic goddess just yet, considering that if get the promotion I'm interviewing for I will be the slight breadwinner in our little family (but not enough to support both of us so that J can finish college). I'm just curious because I'm quite lazy on my days off. I do 2-3 loads of laundry, and sometimes I even put them away. I usually clean the kitchen thoroughly (sometimes half-assedly) and do a big grocery trip, and I pick up around the living room to make it look a little neater. I'll pick up my stuff, anyway. Normally I chuck whatever belongs to J into the dining area since he has apparently decided that the dining room table is now his clothing storage area. He's pretty lazy about that, and sometimes it gets to me, but I'm also pretty lazy about cleaning the tub. What is it about men and their 'spread'? It's like the amount of shit he owns grows a little each day like a mold and if I don't occasionally break down and let him have it, eventually our entire 800 square foot apartment will be consumed by a pile of mismatched socks and debit card receipts. I'm considering cleaning out his drawers for him today and putting all of his clothes away. I'm so stubborn sometimes, I haven't done it based on the fact that I am not responsible for picking up after him but you know, it's been three or four WEEKS now and I really want the dining area back. Plus, maybe if I do it, he'll clean the bathroom for me....
