Life of the Semi Homemaker

I'm waiting 5-6 years before I even have kids of my own. And yes, I know that "accidents" can happen. Almost always does. But I hope that those "accidents" don't happen to me. Why? Because I have several things that I want to do. One of which is go to school for nursing. Another is is that I would like to travel around some before I start popping out babies. I know that last statement is kinda odd, but it's just a phrase that I use. I love kids, don't get me wrong. I just don't want to have any right now. I'm 25 (I'll be 26 this June). I, personally, am not ready for kids. So I will be waiting 5-6 YEARS before considering becoming pregnant. Some people may look down on me and question me on why. Other's may pressure me into having a baby before I am ready for that resonsibility. Like I stated before, I would like to go to school before kids come along. My fiance is supportive of that decision. No one else in either family knows ...

I'm regretting that I ever moved in with my fiance. Why, you ask? The answer is that (1) my mom seems to be taking it a bit hard and (2) there's a chance that she could have breast cancer. Yes...BREAST CANCER!!!!! I feel horrible for not being at home. I feel like I need to move back home with her and be with her right now than in my own apartment being the adult that I need to be. When I was a kid, I didn't really have a care in the world. I could go outside and have fun. My mom took care of all "boo boo's" that I got. She made me feel better when I was sick. Now that I've moved out, all of a sudden it seems like her world is spiraling out of control. Her oldest child (me) has moved out and is getting married. It seems like she's got a bad case of Empty Nest Syndrome. I feel horrible that she's going through it. I know that I need to be the adult that I know I am, but at the same time, I just wanna go back home and be that little kid a...

In order for me, a self titled Semi Homemaker, to keep my apartment clean, I'd have to clean every single day!!! Gah!!!!!!  hahaha....well, cleaning isn't going over so well. I clean at least once a week. Sometimes once every OTHER week. I wash clothes in a random way. I don't have a set day or days of the week to clean and wash clothes and what not.  Do I? I think I do. To keep my sanity anyways. lol!!!  Now I understand why mama ALWAYS...FREAKING...CLEANED!!!!!! A messy house can drive you CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes you wanna go cross eyed. Or at least I feel that way. ha!!! Not sure about other people.  Keeping 1200 square feet clean can be difficult, but once I get it clean, it stays that way for a few days or so. Then it's messy again. Oh well!!! But I am getting the hang of it all. :-D

My mom gave me a kindle fire!!!! So excited right now. For a whilem I didn't want one. I still like my old kindle. It's not quite 5 years old and still does what I want it to do. BUT with the kindle fire, I can get aps on it, which is AWESOME!!! Now I can get on FB and play words with friends (manderin626 if you wanna play!!) and do other things, like listening to music. So I am really enjoying my new toy, all thanks goes to my sweet mama for this AWESOME gift!!!!!!

Lonliness...depression...lonliness...I can't decide which one it is. I think it's more lonliness than anything else. Right now my fiance is working a double (yes he and I live toghether). Granted I've cleaned and watched tv and listened to music most of the day today. That's helped with my lonliness. Sometimes, it feels like I'm depressed. Not depressed in the since that I want to hurt myself...depressed because I'm sad...sad that I'm alone.  I've always wondered if other housewives/stay-at-home-moms/part time home makers have the same issues. Have the same lonliness that I have. Lonely for their better halves. I'm sure to some degree that people do have the lonliness that I have. I like being busy. It helps me not to be so lonely. Also, my fiance is trying to find a much better paying job (he is currently a waiter at The Cheesecake Factory, but is looking for a management position). If he does get a better paying job, then I can go part tim...

You read the title right!!!  I am going to be writing about my life as a Semi Homemaker. Semi meaning that, on my off days, I am a homemaker. I work 3-4 days per week, so I get to clean the apartment, wash the clothes, wash the dishes, and do other house hold chores while my fiance is at work.  Fun, sometimes. Boring, sometimes. Do I always wanna do it? No. But it's a necessary evil.  Right now, I don't have kids. Which makes my job, cleaning wise anyways, a bit easier. It's just me and Patrick.  Today, he is working a double, which means I have the apartment to myself. 1200 square feet, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. A full sized kitchen, den, and dining room. All of that to myself. No one bothering me. No one sitting like a bump on a log. At least I get it all to myself to clean in a nice slow time frame.  I did promise him that I would have it all cleaned by the time he gets home tonight.  So, I need to get off of here and get on to finishing...
