I recently heard the term "domestic goddess". It went in one ear and out the other at the time. It wasn't until today when the term resurfaced in my mind. After mopping the floors there I was doing laundry, bathing two pugs, dealing with a curious cat, answering my husband's text and pondering what to make for dinner. When I thought, 'hmm, domestic goddess?' That thought was soon accompanied with this thought, 'I wonder if I could be a domestic goddess?'
A little while later I'm walking two pugs in the cold rain. Cody is so fed up with the icy-rainy days that he recently passed me a note that read, "Can we move to Florida?". So needless to say he was not happy to be outside and shivered the entire way. My heart went out to him but walks still have to be taken. Rain, shine, or snow flurries! Note to Cody, snow flurries are in the forecast!
Next up for the day was more laundry. How do 2 people and 3 pets have so much laundry? Okay I can answer that! The pets have blankets and beds plus towels that are used for only them. The boys also have clothes. Don't get hung up on the fact I dress the boys. Everyone that reads this blog should already know I dress the boys. However, I dress them for warmth and not so they can look like the first pugs to ever walk off the cover of a GQ magazine! All of their items plus our items equals a decent amount of laundry.
By now I'm folding laundry and realizing it's feeding time at this zoo. Simon promptly arrives in the kitchen for food. Don't call him late for dinner! I look down at him, he looks guilty. I then call for Cody to get up from his cozy bed positioned directly in front of the heater. As I'm waiting for Cody to rise up. I'm seeing and hearing Piper meow as she walks circles around Simon. It's her patient(or rather impatient) way she waits to be fed now. Okay good, I now have 3 pets in front of me. I then drop the boys food container. So lovely when that happens. Next I realized why Simon looked guilty, he unloaded the toy box. While everyone ate mommie picked up toys.
Everyone got fed. I'm still doing laundry while I wait for Brad to get home. There are busy days. There are crazy moments. Times where I feel like I never stop running to do one more thing. But you know what? I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love being busy! I have to be busy!
So do I fit the description of the domestic goddess? Hmm, NO! Not by a long shot. Today and most days I think I'm more of a domestic tornado! If that's even possible! LOL!
