Today I found it much easier to get into the swing of things - I was dressed up and ready when Bob arrived home from work. I was even more on the ball with dinner, too. Dinner was ready and waiting on the table when Bob got home. I didn't meet him at the door like usual because he hasn't really enjoyed that aspect of the experiment. Instead I had his drink waiting at his spot at the table. He seemed to appreciate that.
Since I'm working on my appearance this week, I've done some research and learned that a "proper" housewife has a particular uniform for bedtime, too. Gone are the flannel jammies, zit cream spots on the face and sloppy ponytails. Apparently, Stepford wives are supposed to wear alluring lingerie to bed (not trashy, just seductive). Some websites recommended wearing garter belts to bed. I even saw one spot that recommended wearing crotchless panties to bed to allow your husband to "help himself" while you are sleeping (I found this appalling. I can support this "please your husband" stuff but I don't agree with encouraging your husband to take advantage of you while you are unconscious!).
I have to admit I'm a little worried and unenthusiastic about my nighttime appearance. My favorite part of the day has always been when I get to come home and slip into some comfy jammies. To me, there's little better than taking a warm bath and putting on a well-loved pair of flannel pajamas. I understand it isn't exactly enticing for Bob, but at some point in my day I just want to be comfortable! I tried dressing "sexy" for bed last night but was FREEZING all night! I wore tiny hot pants and a tight t-shirt (an outfit Bob has always been fond of). However, it is still winter, so those clothes provided little warmth (even with an extra blanket). So tonight I amended this and decided to put on a tight t-shirt and yoga pants that will have to suffice until the weather warms up. I'm not opposed to dressing sexy for bed, it just needs to be a bit warmer first. Does anyone have any ideas for dressing sexy for bed in the cold weather? I'd love some hints!
I'm looking forward to another day of glamor tomorrow. Maybe someone will give me some hints on how to look sexy at bed time without getting hypothermia!
Until tomorrow...
Good night!
About Me
- Donna Cleaver
- Seattle, WA, United States
- I was a forward-thinking college graduate, raised on Oprah and Murphy Brown. Working outside the home was a right for which women before me had fought hard and I wasn’t about to let them down. After a long hard look at my life and the facts that were staring me in the face I realized that my way of doing things wasn’t working.I decided to try a whole new way…wait…old way, of doing things. I elected to try to live, at least for a time, as a typical old-fashioned housewife. I wanted to see what life would be like if I lived on the opposite side of the spectrum from what I’d always dreamed. I didn’t have much to lose, so why not?
