I am not even sure where this day went, as we literally did absolutely nothing all day. One kiddo was sick as the day started, and so it really just became a lazy day for all of us at home.
Due to the recommendation of someone, I have started a new HBO miniseries - Mildred Pierce. I enjoy Kate Winslet and she isn't disappointing at all in this either. Its a good "strong woman" overcoming adversity movie thus far. Of course, I am only in the first episode, but I am sure it will continue to be just as good. Its also a period piece of the 1930s, another thing I really enjoy as well. The costuming, sets, everything is done very nicely. I wish I could walk in heels as much as the women back then did. I wish I was a better housewife for that matter some days. So much as been lost in the decades since the 1950s that is for sure. While I am not saying I want to be stuck at home being the "little wife", I do wish I was just better at taking care of our home. I lack the energy most days to get everything done that needs to be done. And I feel bad for that. Kate Winslet's character spent a day just baking all day. Oh wouldn't that be nice. Not realistic, but nice. I do feel that some of my lack of motivation also is due to the convenience of modern technology. I need to have a technology "detox" and soon.
