If past experience (being last night & this morning) is any indication of future potential, then my ideal role should be that of house-husband.
The last few days I’ve been feeling down and not really into my world or feeling much like doing anything. Not really a great place to be. More just turning down the volume, running on empty etc.
Yesterday I decided to buckle down and get some house keeping tasks done that I had been putting off. Things like vacuuming, laundry, dishes, cleaning the cat box etc. The resultant change in my mood is amazing to me.
Last night after my tasks for the day were completed, and I sat down with a drink and time to just shut down, I was able to really relax. This morning I woke up with my alarm for the first time in a long time (I usually wake up before the alarm) and i felt refreshed, ready for the day.
Maybe this is a sign that my place is in the home. Buck the typical Male Gender Role and be a house husband. I’ve said before that if/when I have kids, I would really want to be a stay at home dad. Maybe telecommute if possible but really be home for my family and take care of the homestead.
Something to remember for the future.
You’re sorta stuck where you are
But in your dreams you can buy expensive cars
Or live on Mars
And have it your wayAnd you hate your boss at your job
Well, in your dreams you can blow his head off
In your dreams
Show no mercyAnd all your bad days will end
And all your bad days will end
You have to sleep late when you can
And all your bad days will end- Bad Days – Flaming Lips
