My hubby recently asked me this question. You see, the big birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, and by big I mean 4-0.........seems odd to me since I think I am still something closer to 25. Then I look in the mirror and think, wow, I am not 25 any more.
So, anyhow, the hubby says that "people" have been asking what I would like for my birthday, and what should he tell them. "a wife" I reply. "thanks" he said "that was really helpful" - I don't think he appreciated my answer. In reality though, I was serious. Who wouldn't want a wife? I would want a wife for a week, well, maybe two weeks. I would want a wife who is not like me, one who is super organized, super crafty, has great decorating ideas, can make and freeze a month's worth of dinner in a day, who figures out "storage" for all of my items, who goes through my children's clothes and makes sure everyone has the correct sizes and seasons in their closets (as well as the right shoes), someone who can do laundry without shrinking anything and gets it out of the dryer before it is a wrinkled mess. A wife who is patient with the children, who will listen attentively to her husband and will come up with fun things to do in the evenings. A wife who doesn't want to spend so much time on the computer that everything else kind of slides through the cracks. A wife would pack the lunches for the kids and make them cute and good and healthy. A wife would get up every morning with the kids and make them breakfast, she wouldn't want a couple of days off of people asking/needing her as soon as their feet hit the floor.
I remember when I had my second daughter, my mom and sisters gave me money to have someone come and clean our house every week for a month. Once she came and cleaned I was hooked. She still cleans our house every two weeks..........it is very nice. It helps me a lot. I shouldn't complain that I want a wife for my birthday, because I have so much. But I would SO love a wife, just for a little while, just to help me catch up.
Other than that, I would like Obama to become the president for my birthday. Of course, the majority of my friends here in Wake Forest would not even think to give me that gift.
So, if anyone knows of a wife rental, let me know and I will pass the word to my wonderful hubby.

I love your blog! It is totally fun :)
Now I have something else on the computer that I "have to do" every day. Don't be surprised if you see my kids at school in their underwear because the laundry didn't get done. All because I was reading your blog :)
