Who Said Being a Housewife is Easy?

The last few weeks I've been feeling really sluggish. I've had a fever, chills, body aches, and I've even thrown up a few times. I thought I just had the flu, but after evaluating my situation; I realized I'm just really stressed out about the kids starting school. Everyone who knows me, knows that I don't deal with change well. This might be why I have been so sick lately, it's my bodies way of saying "chill out". People always say to me "your a housewife what do you have to worry about?" Like being a housewife is all rainbows and butterflies. I just worry because this is Olivia's third new school in three years not to mention my baby boy starts kindergarten. The school is just being built as we speak. We drove past it a few times and it appears not even close to being ready for Monday. The school had to cancel Back-to-School Night, which was supposed to be tonight. The kids won't even get a tour of the school before the first day. Not to mention they don't even know the bus routes, so we can't even do a few practice runs so that they are familiar with the bus ride. These are the things I worry about as a mother. The kids aren't even nervous in fact they could careless. My Mom has had Damon and Olivia for the last few days. We didn't want them to catch the flu, if that's what I have. Jasmine has been home with me since she won't spend the night at Grandma's. She's been taking care of me, bringing me blankets and the remote control. Being a mom and a housewife can be a little overwhelming at times. I never get to finish a complete thought. In fact Jasmine has interrupted me about 40 times just while I've been writing this. Thank God for my Mom who is always a big help. She knows exactly what I am going through. Thanks for always taking care of us, what would I do without you? Only 3 days after today until school starts.

  1. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, Tina, but I am glad your Mama and Jasmine are there to help out! School will start, the kids will do great, and you will be happy yet again!
