Ok so I am 3 days in to Maturity leave and already I missing the human interaction.. I even found myself talking to strangers in Big W yesterday just so I could get someone to talk to Me.!!!

I have washed all the baby stuff and we are all systems go in that department…. I have done most of the Xmas shopping and wrapped the presents and put up some Xmas decos.. I am now waiting for my “hunter gatherer” husband to supply me with a “real” Xmas tree for our lounge room.
I have taken care off all the domestic duties like a perfect little house wife and have managed to have dinner on the table every night at 8 for some quality time with my husband… Ok so this is sounding like an episode of desperate housewife’s and YES the fad has already started to wear off….

One of the major challengers I have faced so far is the “heat” factor… now for the last 12 years I have spent the majority of my time in summer in an air conditioned office… I have always had my father tirelessly tell me how much easier my job is because of this and I have always told him it was nonsense!!!… Well the last 3 days have really put that theory to the test…. I think I am averaging about 3-4 cold showers a day and the house looks like no one is home as I have all the windows and curtains pulled and the fan and little air con pumping to try and stay cool…..But as usual I am on top of things and am in the process of organising for a split system air con to be put in ASAP !!!!..

Bill & I also have out last pre natal class tonight.. They have been really good and I think we have both got something out of it…..

Anyway like the perfect little housewife.. It’s 4.37pm and my husband will be home soon.. Now what do them say.. Go shower and make yourself fresh, make sure your hair and make up is done, the house is tidy, the washing and ironing is done, dinner is prepared and you have a cold drink and a snack ready for him when he gets home… NOT !!!!.. I’m going to watch Bold and the beautiful…. and thank god I’m a housewife in the 2000′s not the 1950′s……
