A Proper Housewife, I Am

An offline critic has asked if, in maintaining my blog and being a shrill harpy, I'm giving proper attention to my duties as a wife and mother.

But I couldn't answer right away, as I was at the stove yesterday making a lentil curry with fresh spinach for my vegan son, chicken with fresh cilantro, rice, and beans for my husband, and preparing the stock for the chicken soup I'm serving guests today at 4. I even wore an apron, although I ditched the pearls and pumps.

And I'd go on, except that I'm busy bleaching a load of whites so my husband has fresh workshirts for the week. I suspect I'll even clean out the cat box after church.

Why do I suspect this won't make a bit of difference?

Wow, nobody knows the trouble you've seen! -- Nobody knows but Jesus. Sounds like you could do with a bit of that liberating Gospel! "Because a Gospel that doesn't liberate everyone, can't liberate anyone"

Sorry aboutthe silly comment. I freely grant that a married woman with kids can blog and fulfill her duties around the house at the same time. Now if we can only work on the quality of your blogging . . .
