READ THIS FOR A REMINDER OF THE ROLE YOU HAVE IN THE HOME...
this was an actual article in a 'good housekeeping' magazine in 1955.
this was an actual article in a 'good housekeeping' magazine in 1955.
Wes sent this to me on a hard day. It was a good reminder of what's expected of me :) thanks honey :) (click on pic. to see larger print :) )
You would be pleased to know that I fit all of the above criteria and am a PHENOMONAL housewife. I would amaze you. My home is immaculate, my child is well groomed with her hair combed and face washed for when her father arrives from work, my husband's favorite meals are served upon his arrival, a fire is prepared for him to lay back and unwind to, and I even find time to REST for 15 minutes before he walks in the door. Man I am good.
* * * (k, if you're reading my blog and don't know me or my husband then you should just know that i bathe in sarcasm and roll in it afterwords, m'kay? alrighty then, now you're up to speed.)
oh and after receiving the good housekeeping article in an email from my dear husband, I showed up inside the law school wearing this...
If Wes was embarrassed that I came inside the school like this, I'm not sorry. Maybe he'll think twice before sending me such BLASPHEMY!!! hee hee :)I knew there was a reason I wasn't a pioneer or lived during 1955. Don't get me wrong, I do like a clean house and home cooked meals. But being pregnant and tired sometimes we just eat taco bell or cold cereal. Who would complain about that??
OH , and here's me and the wee one at 18 weeks :) ALMOST.... halfway baby!
there ya go mom, now you can see me growing!!!!we find out in a couple weeks if we are having a wee boy or wee girl . im SOOOOO excited.
I have no CLUE as to what we are having this time. With Paisley I claim that I knew she was a girl. However, Girl or Boy, we CAN'T WAIT!!!

We are excited to find out what you guys are having too. Thank you so so much for helping me with Activity Days,...you are awesome! Fun article too-I hear ya. There is a reason that I am living now and not then.
(Hey, I heard that you do hair. I do not know if that is supposed to be public or not,...but I may need some help with my lion mane. It is getting out of control!)
Ash you look amazing! Seriously I looked and you can't even tell you are pregnant! Oh and I love that you showed up at school dressed like that! haha too funny! Oh and don't let Wes give that article to Chad cause he already thinks I should be June Cleaver.-Fat chance of that ever happening though! haha
You are so so cute! I've read that article before and I can't even believe that some girls did that. No wonder why our country is so bad today after that kind of surpression. I am excited to find out what you guys are having. Soo fun!
That is freakin hilarious! It's a good thing I wasn't born back in the day because Im pretty sure I would have been single. I hope you get some meat on your bones soon. You are a WEE bit tiny yourself! You look darling!
Ashley! You amaze me at all that you do! You really are an awesome mom and wife and everything else. You are so cute prego! You don't even look like you have a wee little Wright growing inside you. How exciting. Paiz is getting so big. I love her hair. We miss you guys! Love ya
I was showing logan your cute pregnancy picture last night and he said, i feel really bad cuz she was like your best friend and i've never even met her. So...the next time you're in AZ we HAVE to get together for dinner or something so my hubby can FINALLY meet you! I hope its soon! Take care!
~~*ASH =) You are looking so cute pregnant. I remember seeing you when you were pregnant with Paisley and thinking, "I better look that good when I'm pregnant." I doubt it, it just suits you!!! I think that you are going to have another GIRL!! Good Luck and I can't wait to find out what you are having FOR REALS! <3*~~

Ha, ha, ha, I have seen that article before and my favorite part is the ribbon in her hair. You know it's amazing our grandmothers had any children at all with those kind of expectations. You look adorable in the apron. I'll bet everyone was jealous at the Law school. Wes is one lucky guy. We are soooo excited to find out about the next grandchild. Happy either way of course! Love, Tina
