Housewife

I knew my mother wanted to stay at home and be a housewife.  As I headed off to work every morning, I felt a twinge of jealousy as I watched her leisurely drinking her second cup of coffee.  I often wondered if she ever got bored staying home all did.  Then I caught myself – did she actually stay home all day or did she just pretend she did?  I quickly became obsessed.  I wanted to document every movement of her day so I could replicate it.  I wanted to be happy just like she was.  Happy, home and free.
