A day in the life...

So, while researching for this upcoming project, I came across another blogger, The 50s Housewife Project that done the same experiment and she listed what a typical day for a 50s housewife looked like. I would like to share with you now.
•Neaten all the rooms in the house, gathering items into a basket that belong elsewhere from each room. Placing them in their correct place as you move from room to room.
•Light dusting, fluff pillows, water plants.
•Make the beds.
•Hang up any clothes, place dirty ones in the hamper.
•Neaten the bathroom, put out fresh towels, refill the soap dispenser and toilet paper if needed, clean the sink.
•Wipe down the kitchen counters, sink, stove and inside of fridge.
•Take out the garbage.
•Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
•Check your menu for today and tomorrow, make a note of anything needed from the market. •Handle any outside of the home errands: grocery shopping, post office, etc. (My schedule only has 1 day for errands)
•If you went to the grocery store wash vegetables and put them away. Place the rest of the groceries in their proper place.
•Have a quick lunch.
•Start any advanced food preparations like thawing the meat or starting dessert.
•Complete an item from the weekly chore list (coming soon)
•Set the dinner table.
•Arrange the living room for an evening of enjoyment. Such as the Mister's newspaper, book, and cigarettes.
•Do a quick sweep of the floors and double check that the entry ways are clear.
•Prepare a special dish for dinner.
•Freshen up before your husband returns from work. Consider changing if your day's dress is plain. •Set out a tray for mixing cocktails in case the man of the house would like to serve drinks before dinner. (Mine doesn't so I'll be skipping this step)
•Greet your husband happily when he comes home. Do not burden with your troubles from the day as soon as he walks through the door. Ask him about his day first, listen intently to what he has to say. •Serve dinner.
Ha! Isn't that a hoot?! All that cleaning and I'm still supposed to look perfect and greet the Mr. happily? Actually, I am pretty happy when I hear the loud, unmistakable roar of that 'Stang! Oh yes, and the day doesn't start where she did. The housewife's day started when her husbands did. She got up, took 10 minutes to freshen herself, cooked breakfast, cleaned up the breakfast mess, saw the Mr. off to work and the kids off to school, then showered and readied herself before she started any of the above. How is all this fit into one 8 to 10 hour day? Stick around and we'll find out together!
