Here is something my mom emailed me that i thought was hilarious. I know that it wasn't actually posted in Housekeeping Monthly. It is actually rumored to have been in a girls junior high textbook for home-ec. But i couldn't help but to think what it would be like at home if the wife actually did act this way.
I jokingly suggested that we should treat our husbands like this for a week and see how they respond. My mom laughed and declared "Are you kidding?! They'd love it!" I told her i thought Josh would ask me what was wrong with me and if i was feeling okay.
Yet i can't help but wonder how he would respond. I realize that we don't have the traditional home versus work set-up that many couples have. I work on all the days that Josh is home. And here i am, still wondering how it would be accepted if i was indeed the "Good Wife" as much as schedules would allow.
So here it goes. Just for fun, i am going to be the "Good Wife" for a week. Alright, i'll TRY to be the "Good Wife." I really wonder how Josh will respond to me being this Completely different wife. Hee. Hee. Starting tomorrow morning (Thursday morning), i will greet him as he comes home has the "Good Wife."
My prediction is that he will indeed love it; at first. Then he'll tire of it and start to feel guilty that i'm doing so much extra work, leaving him practically nothing to do. Beginning tomorrow, i will follow the "Good Wife" list. This should be interesting. I'll tell Josh Thursday next week about my little experiment. I'll tell you then how it went.

I've seen this somewhere before, but I'm totally going to try this, too! It's funny, because some of those things I try an do already (like not complaining when he gets home, trying to have the house quiet, and being happy to see him).
I think you should wear the dress and heals too while you vacuum. lol No way! Not me! Let me know how it goes though. This is funny.
