I’ve done several posts about the kids, and one post about my work life, but no posts about being a wife. Ah, how closely the blog mirrors real life. I suppose I wouldn’t even be a mom if I hadn’t been a wife first (at least in my book that’s the way it goes), but sometimes it’s hard to remember I’ve got wifely duties, too. Rob reminded me of this recently. He’s been feeling neglected lately, and I can understand why. On the priority list of my life, he falls almost as close to the bottom as I do. I think it goes like this.
1. The Kids
2. The House
3. The Kids
4. Work
5. The Kids
6. Rob
7. Me
Okay, maybe the dog comes after me, but that’s about it. So anyway, back to Rob feeling neglected…He actually said to me the other day, “You know, you are a great mother and housekeeper, and work hard at your job, but sometimes I think you forget how to be a wife.” Luckily I am becoming more skilled at translating man-speak, so I did not get offended. I know what he was really meant was “I’m a man, not a mom, so I need you to dote on me every second of the day so I feel loved and appreciated.” So, I added to my to-do list, more hugs and kisses and ‘atta boys for Rob. I think I can work that in somewhere between poopy diaper changes. And just maybe, there will be a future post about being a wife.
