I love Turner Classic Movies. I watch it all of the time. One thing I wish I'd retain from some of these wonderful classics is being a perfect housewife and mom. Haha! It's true! I wish I got up every morning before everyone else, had breakfast ready and saw them out the door with a smile. And then, of course, have the house perfectly clean and have a perfectly cooked meal for dinner. Unfortunately, I am not a morning person, and I don't always get the house clean, and I don't always have a perfectly cooked dinner every night. Whenever I visit my in-laws, I admire how dutifully my mother-in-law washes the dishes after every meal and how clean her house always is. She's neat, organized, and very lady-like. She is quite a role model, let me tell you. While I may not be as good as I'd like to be, my guys know they're loved and they think they are reasonably well cared for. I've recently started mowing the back yard for my husband. That's certainly not something my mother-in-law would do. I try to make sure I wash the dishes every night before going to bed. As for the rest of my wifely/motherly duties, I have many hits and misses. In between watching a classic movie or reading a book, of course.
