Last night I found Leave It To Beaver on Netflix. Andy and I sat down and enjoyed an episode or two and giggled and laughed at Beaver. We watched as June cooked meals and cleaned the house in her dress and pearls, waited by the front door with lunch prepared for the boys as they were ready to walk to school, and took care of her family with love and concern. Andy noticed the converse tennis shoes (just like the ones I recently bought for him) and even the very 50's looking jacket Beaver was wearing (which he now wants).
After just a little while he said, "Momma, that is the life right there!" I smiled and thought about how right he was! Don't misunderstand - I don't want to clean house in a dress and pearls, nor do I wish to hoover a stove cooking three meals a day, but I do wish that life was a little more simple. As much as I LOVE my job, I do wish that I could be that stay-at-home mom for Andy. I suppose God has another plan so here we are in our own version of . . .
"Leave It To Beaver Andy"
