A Bit About Me

Homemaking is the best and most important job that a married woman can ever do. Modern society has "freed" women from the "oppression" of being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen." We have rebelled against the idea of the woman staying at home each day while her husband goes off to work in order to "bring home the bacon." We have pictures in our minds of the stay-at-home mom sitting on the couch, hair in curlers, watching t.v., and eating bon bons. We make television shows about "desperate housewives" who are frustrated with life. People believe that for a woman to be "liberated" she must find work outside of the home. We believe that in order for a woman to "make a difference in the world." She needs to do more than be "Just a Homemaker." Even within good Christian societies homemakers are rarely respected and viewed as something of great importance. Rather, homemakers are those who are either too lazy or too stupid to do anything else. We look at women's frustrations at being home constantly and, rather than recognizing it as an attack by the devil, we view it as the oppression of women.  The world has falsely diagnosed the problem and introduced the feminine movement and degraded the married woman's most honorable profession, homemaking.
   Let me say here, that I am not a completely conservative freak.  I am a college graduate with a degree history and English.  I taught high school English, worked for a non-profit organization in the area of development, and worked in publications. I hold very strong opinions about religion and life (though I am always happy to listen to the, politely communicated, opinions of others). I am independent and stubborn. I am a Roman Catholic, though I do not cover my head in Mass or desire to attend only the Latin Mass. I do believe, and strive to follow, the teachings of the Church. I will always be Pro-Life, NEVER pro-choice. I will never vote for any candidate who is not pro-life, regardless of any of his other views.  I like to think about style, to look nice, and to wear make-up. I don't just wear skirts, I do occasionally drink (though  not to excess).  I love to dance, to read mysteries, fantasies, and children's books, and I watch (sometimes far too many) silly shows on television. I submit to my husband (though at times this is hard). What I am trying to say is, I'm a pretty normal person, but, I also think that being a homemaker is the MOST IMPORTANT job that a married woman can do.
