Domestic Goddess

As I am dividing my time between my place and C's apartment, I am laughing at the various roles I play in a week. I am now pseudo-wife and fabulous mother....Most of all, I love how I remembered to be such a cool domestic goddess. The other night as C ran another load for some friends in the midst of moving, I finished making dinner, and uncorked the wine. I walked the dog, and lit candles throughout the place. While the wine was breathing, I vacumed and put away a load of our laundry. I then placed my hair in a bun, pulled his dress shirts, and dressed in the Victoria's Secrest Very Sexy collection. My beautiful man came home, and I handed him a glass of wine while he relaxed in the shower. I continued to iron, much to his surprise, and finished his week's worth of dress shirts in that little ensemble....Damn, I am good!

Needless to say, C is very happy that I am still unemployed. I wake up in the morning and flip on the coffee pot, getting him a cup while I crack open a coke. I take Jake for a walk, and hand my love his coffee as he jumps in the shower. While showering, I make him a full breakfast, and prepare a lunch and/or a thermos full of coffee. For the moment, I still need to work part time, but soon I will be able to focus completely on school and my new family-to-be. I love this change of pace. I don't think I have it in me to be a stay-at-home mom for an extended period of time, but right now, I love being the backbone of this life we are creating. I love watching him eat a full breakfast, I love having the time to listen to my daughter laugh and frolic in the pool, I love slipping sexy notes into his briefcase, and I love having this summer with Maddie.

We are leaving town Friday morning to spend the holiday in Litchfield. I am excited to share with Maddie what a small-town holiday can be. I would never want to live in a small town again, and thankfully, neither does C, but holidays can be so much better. Much to do until then....
