So now that I am without a job (temporarily, unfortunately) I am finding time to be the real me!  The crazy woman that feminists love to hate.  The woman who LOVES doing household chores.  You know the ones....cleaning, cooking, gardening, laundry, baking, etc.  Yep, that is who I get to be right now and I couldn't be happier. 
My not having a job, was by my choice (albeit a rather spontaneous choice).  My having to find another paying job, is not by my choice.  But, with my family history of cancer, stroke and heart disease, it is probably unwise for me to not have health care.  And because health care, in my very humble opinion, is way over priced for the average guy/girl, it is kind of important that I get a job where health insurance is partly covered by my employer.  If not partly paid for by my employer, I will at least be making money to pay for my own highly overpriced health insurance.

But let's just pretend for a short little period of time, that I live in the perfect world where I would never get cancer, suffer from heart disease or run the risk of having a stroke.  I don't  need health insurance because any  type of little illness or accident I were to have, could easily be paid for with the money I have in my purse at the time.  If that were the world I lived in, then these snap shots would be representative of how I would spend my day, my every day.  Throw in there a few images of me crocheting, sewing and some random mixed media art and homemade card making and the day would be complete.  I didn't have a chance to do any of that yesterday, so images of those last few activities aren't included.  But, these photos pretty much spell out, my perfect day/life.


Start the morning out with cleaning of the chicken coop and waterer.

Dishes hand washed and ready to be put away. 

Where the laundry will sometimes stay for quite a few days,
the sofa in the sitting room off of our bedroom.

Now the laundry is all nicely folded after it is dried,
and even gets put away:)

 Planned menu for dinner and even followed thru!!!  Bonus!!

 A very happy me mixing up my bread dough.

 After taking some time to loving knead the dough, it is ready for it's first rise.

Into the loaf pans for the second rise.

Pure, simple perfection.
Yes, I ate half of a loaf before it even had a chance to cool down.

Bed even was made which I know would make my mama smile:)

Even got to spend some quality modeling time with  Maxwell and Roberta.
Something about my arbor just brings the model out in both of them.
Some people stop to smell the roses,  I stop to photo the chickies.

And because I deserve a really sweet snack for all of my hard work,
a bowl of fresh, juicy ripe strawberries seems to be the perfect
reward.

Can't wait to see what today brings.  I am thinking some grocery shopping at the Friendly City Food Co-op to purchase some things for a luncheon I am cooking for this Sunday, a trip to Gift and Thrift to see what wonderful things they have there today, planting some more seeds in the veggie garden and decorating the chickie coop with some flowers and a few other things.  And oh yeah, before anything else, I have a birthday cared to make for a very special sister and get it in the mail ASAP!!!  Better get to that right now.
Have a simply made, beautiful day.  And if you don't have any chickies to stop and photo, stop and smell the roses for God's sake, or even the dandelions if you don't have any roses.
Ciao,
Debbie
