Little Susie Homemaker... Not So Much

Little Susie Homemaker is the perfect wife, mother, housekeeper all in one.  Someone who not only has a perfectly happy family but is able to keep the house clean, the laundry done and dinner on the table every night.  I don't know where she came from or who she is, but I'm pretty sure she's a fraud.  The idea of being able to keep a perfect house and happy family all the time is impossible.  If your home is perfectly clean all the time then something or someone in your life is lacking the attention they need from you.  Maybe I'm just making excuses for myself and my dirty house but I'm just happy that I'm finally caught up on the laundry this week.  I'm letting go of any guilt I may have previously put on myself for not being the perfect housewife.  I think all of us mom's should find our own level of "perfection" and be happy with it.  I'm going to redefine what the perfect housewife is for myself: a happy family and a house that doesn't look like a hoarder lives there is more than good enough for me.
