Sunday’s over again… or the perfect housewife day

Well, apart from the fact that I am not married and thereby do not qualify for the"wife" title, I think I have done everything this day.

Fabian woke us, or me, by singing. Absolutely the best way ever to be waken if you must be. His song made no sense to the adult ear, but I understand that this is what a 20 month has learnt during four weeks of kindergarten.

Nevermind, Saturday was a reminder how it was to be 20 and not being able to control one's drinking, I'll just leave it at that. Today, on the otherhand I was waken, as mentioned, quite early but feeling just fine considering. I started with cleaning what ever was left to do in the kitchen after last night friendly gathering. Putting a load into the washing machine (one of onehundred it feels like now), taking care of the kids while the man continued his snoring.

After a late breakfast the dog was taken for a walk Samuel taking his new bike for a spin. Then garden chores followed. It looks like we will have strawberries this summer to. After today the weed will not have a chance. The neighbour reminded me that it is time to put potatoes in the ground if we would like some this summer, so that will be next week-end's assignment.

Putting Fabian down for a nap and then continue with the garden chores – oh, it is so great to be able to be out and not freezing. Friends came over for a cup of coffee. Is it not the best, when people just show up? So less pretentious and always the best talks.

Then the wash followed. How many pair of underwear can a 4 year old go through in a week? I have folded and changed and carried and fixed. Thank God the kids were playing great with eachother, I am so happy that they have eachother to play with. I started dinner 1,5 hrs before eating. with a dish that fixes it self in the owen, how many housewife point is not that? Took the dog and the kids for another walk, rolling Fabian in his stroller through every puddle we could find, that apparently made his day – I am glad to be of assistance. Preparing the last things for dinner INCLUDING vegetables (!) housewife points are now reaching a all time high. Cleaning up the kitchen again, while the kids were watching TV and then taking them for the Sunday shower. Having two good smelling, good looking boys enjoying their bed time stories. Wow,I am good!
