The NOT so domestic life.

"I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe."

-The Stepford Wives (1975)

When I was a little girl I would dream about the day that I would mop the floor, dust the mantle and wear a cute, flowery, pink apron.  Yeah, um, I don't think so.  As incredulous as this may sound I am not that girl.  You know, thatgirl that played house when she was younger all while fantasizing to grow up and become the perfect domestic being?  Yeah, so, so, not me. What can I say, it's not that I can't be domestic, it's more that I don't want to be.  There are many more things I would simply rather be doing (reading, writing, lounging).  I don't even feel guilt over it.  Is that such a heinous crime?  Clearly, this isn't the "Leave it to Beaver" era.  And, even if it were, I'd probably still wouldn't fit into the "housewife" clique (lucky for me).  Are there still those whose passion lies solely in tending to the home?  If you are out there, somewhere, anywhere, share with me your enthusiasm, your motivation?  Obviously, I am forced to be domestic.  I mean, if it were up the husband we would have one of three things for dinner.  Fried eggs, boiled eggs and scrambled eggs.  And, it's not that he doesn't try, he does (he does our laundry, attempts to fold them, and manages all of the outside work).  Yet, even when he tries to help, I find myself simply having to go back and do it all again.  ugh.  Why haven't I hired help? Oh, yeah,  because, according to my significant other, what is the need.  I mean, it's not as though we have children.  It's only just the two of us, well, three of us (Ziggy makes a mess larger than I can describe).  And, would I trust to hire someone? Probably not.  So, here enters the dilemma.  I dislike anything having to do with the domestic life, yet, can't seem to find a medium.  What shall I do? The whole "Stepford wife", out of the question.  Barefoot and pregnant? Most definitely not.  So, what is one to do? HELP!
