The List: Week 7 - Dream Job

See the previous week here.

7. What is your dream job, and why?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

My hearts desires to be at home with or without kids. I've found that people find that preposterous and lazy that I would choose to be a homemaker without kids. The fact is, I love serving my family. I love knowing that our house could run more smoothly and that our evenings could be spent more peacefully. Would there be days where I'm lazy? Of course there would be. The truth is, when I'm at work I spend half of my day thinking about my home anyway and what I want it to be and what I need to do to get it there. There's one problem. When I get home from work, I don't want to work so those things don't get done.

On the other hand, I am okay with working. I'll do what I need to do to survive. A homemaker is my dream job. It is my "if I could do anything in the world" job. Just as people have their "if you could live anywhere, drive anything, do anything" choices, you don't always get those things. It doesn't mean that you're disappointed and life didn't turn out right. So if I never get to stay home, I'm really okay with that but I pray that one day I will be able to live that dream. One day, my husband will come home to a clean house and dinner on the table.... okay so maybe he'll just come home to a semi-clean house, dinner in the oven and a crying baby... but still. :)

  1. I just have a post similar to this coming up. I hope you get to fulfill your dream soon. It really is an awesome job! And when the kids are crying and refusing naps, it'd be nice to look over the driveway and see a friend going thru the same thing who might like to join me in a glass of wine at 2pm :) Ooops I just blew my cover!
