The Unproductive Wife

The unproductive wife in me knows that I don't have class until 4 on Thursdays and wants to sleep in...

The unproductive wife in me wants to spend the day on the couch watching TV and facebook/blog stalking...

The unproductive wife in me doesn't want to clean, do laundry, or cook...

The unproductive wife in me doesn't want to meal plan...

The unproductive wife in me doesn't want to do homework...

The unproductive wife in me doesn't want to wash her hair, shave her legs, or wear make up...

The unproductive wife in me doesn't want to go to class in the first place...

But today I fought against the unproductive wife in me...

I got up at 8:30 (that's good for me)

I did four loads of laundry

I cleaned out the fridge with my hubby

I did three loads of dishes with my hubby (lots of tupperware from fridge leftovers)

I cleaned my room with my hubby 

I did two chapters of my online geology class

I washed my hair, didn't have time to shave my legs, but I also wore make up

I went to class (from 4-8, it's killer)

Sometimes I get lazy and unproductive and I hate it. I don't want to be one of those moms who wastes her day away doing nothing. I want to have a clean and orderly house. I want to be educated. I want to be proactive and creative. 

I need to keep in mind that it doesn't get easier from here on out. Kids only make things busier and more hectic.  If I don't learn to be productive now, I'm not going to magically turn into superwoman later in life. 

I have to make time to do what is important because life is always busy.
