Update

In the last few weeks I have been looking at my progress as a fifties housewife.  I have found that the way of life that best fits me for this project is to be in the mindset of a fifties housewife, but to keep the clothing and appearance as a modern day.  My husband was not going to be seen out with me looking like that.  So my plan for the next few weeks is to dress up in clothing that is right for this time frame and to wear make-up and fix my hair every day.  After the hair and make-up is done I will start my daily duties of breakfast and cleaning then on to the lunch and clean- up to start the supper prep early.    

 

These last few weeks have been really tough on me in the flying (keeping the house up) part of this because I have had sick kids.  I am learning that I can confine the kids to their room to rest in bed and check on them often and get the things that I need to get done accomplished.  I am also facing the problems of not being up to full power myself as I was washing dishes last Sunday and broke a glass and cut my hand.  That landed me in the ER with three stiches in my hand and causes me to move a little slower at my normal activities but I am finding that if I just keep up with my routines(morning, afternoon, and Before bed) I can keep up with the house.    The house may not look great but the laundry is done and the dishes are done and there is supper fixed every night.

 

We have sadly had to put my husband’s grandma in the nursing home in the last month we had a tradition of going to her house every Sunday for Breakfast after church now that we do not have this place to go to we are going to visit her in the nursing home but I think that me and my husband have decided that we are going to start a new tradition of having the family to come here for a Sunday of family.  With my newly cleaned house and my well stocked pantry this is possible as a fifties housewife. 

 

I will be checking back in a few days to let you know how the progress is going and how the kids are feeling.  Thank you for reading and if you like my blog please share it and click follow at the top left.
