A Girl named Kent

I am trying really hard.....
To help out more around the house and do more of that housewife stuff. Matt started a new job a couple of weeks ago and now he is in a property management office from 9-5:30 5 days a week. This may be normal to most working men but not my husband. He has been his own boss with his own hours for a long time and now that has all shifted. Before, on my work days, he would be home more, keep the house somewhat picked up and have dinner ready when I got home (nich huh). Now on the days I work, we both arrive home exhausted so it has been taking a toll on the way we run our household. So I am trying really hard to step up and do what I can to make things work. I went grocery shopping on Thursday and cooked a meal along with my other cleaning chores. I know for some of you, you do this everyday so don't roll your eyes too hard. I even asked him he needed me to run any errands while he was working and he said to buy him some more work pants so I did that too. The poor guy can't even sleep in for at least another week (today - Saturday) he woke up really early to go to garage sales (part of the other way he makes money) and then he has two property management appts. Then on Sunday, he was to wake up at 4am to drive load of antiques to the once a month Alameda flea market and sell until the afternoon where he will come home exhausted. What a hard worker he is and I feel bad because I don't want him to burn out. Sooo I am psyching myself up to be a good housewife this weekend and to get things done around the homestead so he can relax when he gets home.
