Spin’s on his way home today, so I’m in a scramble to make it look like I’ve done something this week frantically restoring order to the bomb that went off in EVERY room of this house busy preparing his domain our home for his return.
I’ve clearly no time to be witty.
Fresh laundry, an orderly house, sparkling counter tops, dinner on the stove, neatly pressed children, a powdered nose and of course, a fresh coat of lipgloss awaits Ward Spin.
Let it be stated that June Cleaver didn’t blog, carpool her children to and from school, attend sports practice two hours each night, single parent three nights a week, do her kids homework, maintain more than perfunctory relations with her husband, get gas in her car and it goes without saying, seek therapy.
Oh June. For fifty years, you’ve held the bar high for countless housewives worldwide. If only you’d known there was a higher standard. You’d have channeled Soliloquy.
If June Cleaver had channeled you, what would she have accomplished?

That was great!
Good luck getting everything done and don’t forget to put on your pearls!

Pearls, of course. A glaring omission. Thank you.
pffft… I am, therefore I do it with alcohol.
LOOK WHO SHOWED UP! It’s June, herself! And it looks like she brought her addiction!
So glad to see you here, friend!
You are awesome.
I can’t remember, did June have a mother in law?

Seriously, right? Think of the content those writers missed out on. June may have stolen the spotlight from the Beaver…..
Yesterday if June were me, she would have driven children to school, come back home for a shower, finished up several graphic design projects, played referee to the children while baking a cherry crisp for small group, gotten a first grader through homework, forced the children to pick up, gotten dinner on the table and everyone out of the house by 6, come back home at 8, gotten children to bed and fallen asleep on the couch watching snowboarding.
Oh. And she would have overheard her oldest child telling the younger one that mom never plays with them, mom only works. Could someone please sew my heart back up? Anyone? Bueller?

There’s a magic potion for that you know. Wine. (An early morning snuggle would do wonders if she’ll let you climb into bed with her.)
This completely made my day! = )
Its all an illusion on this end. I only look like a housewife.
Just another freeloader eating bon-bons while the husband is away on yet another business trip…………….

Don’t forget…you also did some photography.
You did NOT just say that.
Um…yes I did.
Thanks for that. Really.
No…thank YOU!
The June at my house has mastered the 5 o’clock martini.
You rock! I’d like to hear more about the photography…
If June were me, she’d get up at 4:45 am to get herself ready, then get the kids up at 5:30 to get them ready, get out the door by 6:15, drop both kids off, get to work at 7, run a help desk from 7-4, go pick up kids, get home at 5, make dinner/do homework/handle bills/return phone calls/baths/etc, get everyone to bed at 7, work out for 15 mins, watch a favorite show, then crash by 9pm. There’s often a martini in there somewhere. I heart martinis!

I rock? Girl, you make me look like Roseanne Barr.
How do you do it all???
Eh you just get used to it I guess. And martinis. Lots of martinis!

What I was wondering, Mr. Spin sir, is was this *outdoor* photography of a sort?
Your darling Soliloquy will know what I mean. You can ask her.
June would probably get zilch out of channeling me. What can I say.

Today… she’d channel zilch through me. Just being honest!
Oh, wait… she would have taught a Bible study. I don’t remember seeing June do that!

June definitely went out tonight instead of saving money by eating at home.
