OMG! I've been domesticated!

Yes, it's happened. I've become *dun dun dun* a real and true housewife! OH THE HORROR! LOL.

It all started the day before yesterday. Tom and I were grocery shopping at Walmart and I went into the carpet care aisle to get my carpet shampoo. Lookin through the different brands and strengths (i'm picky about my carpet shampoo lol), my eye falls on a Dirt Devil Spot cleaner for 30 bucks. I've been bugging Tom for one so I can stop having to lug my heavy shampooer up the stairs every weekend. He kept telling me they were too expensive and I'd just have to deal with it.

After spotting this machine, I scanned the box and discovered it was exactly what I needed! I almost grabbed it but decided against it figuring Tom would probably kill me. He hates when I grab extra stuff when shopping, which is why he doesn't take me with him very much lol. I finished my part of the shopping and went to the check out. We left the store and came home, I had forgotten about the dirt devil.

Then yesterday, Tom goes to work and we start our texting back and forth like we always do. I suddenly remembered it and told him about it. He didn't say anything until he got home. Once we got the kids in bed he asked his dad to watch them and him and I went to walmart to get it! I was actually excited about that. But what excited me even more was he bought me new sheets for our bed.

When I woke up this morning, and started reading the instructions on my dirt devil it hit me. I've been domesticated! I actually get excited when Tom buys me new cleaning appliances and stuff that makes my job easy. When I was growing up I swore I'd never get excited about stuff like that. I also get excited about new cleaning chemicals that actually work. I'm always looking for ways to make my house cleaner.

I'm not complaining about it either. I couldn't be happier with how my life is right now. Especially when all my hard work gets noticed. Like the other day, noone felt like cooking so we decided to order pizza for dinner. Lana comes out and asks Tom if she can eat her pizza in the living room. And much to my suprise, he looked right at her and said "No, because Mommy works very hard to keep the couches and carpets looking pretty and your not gonna mess them up." That one line right there almost made me cry. Very rarley does he make comments like that, or even seem to notice how hard I actually work. So the fact that he actually showed that he appreciated it was almost as romantic as the 4 times he asked me to marry him lol.

Yes, life definatly seems to be improving. I actually enjoy spending time with Tom now, I enjoy taking the kids outside on a sunny day. Maybe Tom leaving again won't be as bad as I thought. Maybe I really will be ok. I'm off now to play with my new toy! LOL see ya'll next time!
