It's amazing how when you are young you adamently swear that you will be nothing like your parents, in fact you will be the complete opposite. And then, the impossible happens....you get married, have kids (well we did that in reverse!) and you wake up one morning and realize you ARE your mother.
I'll freely admit growing up, I hated my parents' homebody/isolated lifestyles. Guess what, i really don't want to leave my house. Seriously, its not that i don't like people or social situations. I'm just tired. Way too tired after going to work all week, shopping, back and forth to school and with the dog, i like to be at home, and veg out in front of the tv. After 3 days of me eating cafeteria meals and the kids eating daddy's out of a box specials ie. hamburger helper, kraft dinner, hot dogs or pizza, i need to cook big homemade meals on my days off. Which again brings me to my mother.
I used to look at her gardening with scorn...Just get it at the freaking grocery store like a normal person. Or her canning and preserving....Why not just buy it at the freaking grocery store like a normal person? So what am I thinking?!?!?! I want a bigger house so I can start a garden. I want Mike to put shelving in the basement so I can stockpile, store and preserve. I want a freezer so i can do some batch cooking. So doing some googling at work I come up with this site: http://www.once-a-month-cookingworld.com/index.php and it has some pretty good sounding recipes--like there's alot that doesn't sound good at 5 months preggo!
So as I was growing up into the "progessive woman" I saw on tv, I ended up being June Cleaver aka. Mom and a "domestic goddess," LOL!!
