Funny, I never thought of myself as manager material. But when looked up "homemaker" in the dictionary, there it was in print--"one who manages a home, especially as wife and mother".
It is true. I do manage our home. But I certainly have, and need, a lot of help. There are times when I become prideful and think that my family couldn't get along without me. Truth be told I couldn't get along without them.
If it were up to me, aside from sleeping and eating, our days would be filled with tasks. In my mind a constant to-do list for myself and others ticks away. It is difficult for me to just sit around the house. When I am in my home, the thought of leisure time eludes me.
God bless my family! Without even realizing it, they help me to stay focused on what's important by getting me away from what I am focusing on too much of the time--work. Silly dances, impromptu conversations, YouTube videos, rehashing events from their school day, and talking sports (my hubby)--seemingly distractions in my day all meant to help me see what's really important.
In my mind, this post was intended to share about how I have job security because my family needs me. But really, they have job security because this manager needs them.
