Today is the first full day of summer and no one is happier about that than Clay. Even though he is still working, he gets to live with SUMMER EMILY for two whole months. Summer Emily, aka "The Summer Wife" comes alive during the months of June and July and she goes back into hibernation in the Fall.I must admit that it's nice to be a stay-at-home wife for two months out of the year. Here are 10 Reasons Why I am a Better Wife in the Summer:
1. Once my closets are clean, I am more at peace.
2. When I make dinner, I am not too tired to clean the dishes.
3. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy! John Denver was right after all.
4. I am at home. Clay is at work. When he comes home, I feel like June Cleaver waiting for him.
5. I feel good about myself when I am tan and have time to exercise!
6. My birthday is in the summer so I have to be really nice and butter him up for a good present.
7. Time for tennis = Emily is happy.
8. Clay and I sit on the porch for dinner and watch the golfers stroll by. It's very relaxing.
9. We grill. We sip lemonade. We take more time to chat.
10. Beach time is the best time to reconnect.

ReplyDeleteHaha! When you get that baby from China, that may change! But well worth any amount of fatigue or dirty dishes. ;-)
Enjoy your summer!
Amen! I am a much better wife when I get a day off work and am at home all day! I wish I could enjoy a 2 month vacation!!
ReplyDeleteI recently asked Matt if I could be a stay-at-home wife...and he laughed at me!!
