Hobbies

When people would ask my husband, "what does your wife do."
He would sort of fumble around for an answer and say, "well, she likes to clean, um she likes to take care of the house. You know, that kind of stuff."

Oh boy.

When I found out he'd said this to a few people, I was a bit embarrassed. Because, after all, most women can work outside the home plus do the...um... cleaning and stuff.

"Doesn't sound like she's got a life."

Well, I don't. (big smile here : - D )

But, I love my life. This is it! I get to cherish those little ones that the others just see the picture of on their desks. I get to hug and love on them hourly. How's that for a life! I love it!! I get to (try my hardest) to make a HOME. It's awesome!

Well, even still. I do find myself engrossed in many different projects, that only recently have I gotten the revelation these ARE hobbies. Things like, Cooking, organizing, making my Home Management Journal (scheduling, etc.), developing my relationship with God, and yes B L O G G I N G. (that last one is fairly new) I even throw in there a few that could very well be considered a "true" hobby: drawing (not too good, but hey it's fun!), playing guitar.


TRUTH is, my life is my hobby. Doing the daily tasks takes a lot of time. Homeschooling alone takes a considerable amount of energy (not to mention time!), even when you try to make it easy. Making a good home cooked meal takes effort to do day after day. For me, even just getting us READY for the day can be challenging sometimes!

My aim is to make my home my hobby. This is where a real peace comes in life. When Mom fulfills her duty and role as a caretaker of her dwelling place and those that dwell within. So, yes, I'd say I do possibly have a few hobbies that I enjoy, but nothing is better than having your life be your hobby!
