“I can remember being in 8th grade home ec class and wondering why these people were wasting my time, and why didn’t the other kids know how to cook and sew and budget?”
No kidding! I was raised the same way. No one escaped Kitchen Chores, or Laundry Chores, or Gardening Chores or Mending/Sewing Chores!
Mom would also divide up the grocery list and we girls were responsible for bringing back the best BARGAIN we could find on our lists back to the cart.
I am so GRATEFUL that I have the skill set that I have. It’s made my life much easier.
I have the day off, so I’m going to dash through my chores (Farm & Fleet for chicken supplies, Walgreen’s for a few H&B items) and then I’m spending the rest of the day sewing. I have projects stacked to the ceiling and my fingers have been itching to get at them.
Have a good day! :)
Day off? What’s that? LOL
Sewing? I am so jealous. I’ve got to get my machine out and get busy—my baby sister is having a baby next month, shower this month. I used to sew a lot—not enough hours in the day. Told my daughter that’s what I’m leaving her when I die—all my unfinished projects!
