On my way

So I realized today that I'm turning into my mother...I don't mean that in a bad or negative way at all though. I just mean that there were always a number of things that I never really understood why my mom (or pretty much any mom) did them or why they were such a big deal.
For example, growing up my mom would make us kids do chores every Saturday. In my mind I always thought of Saturday as a play around, have fun, do nothing type of day and I'd always moan and groan when we had to do all those horrible, horrible chores such as vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, mopping, dishes, cleaning the bathroom, ect. Like I said, I never understood why all this needed to be done EVERY Saturday. Well now I know. Since I've been married and had my own house (well, apartment. And a very small apartment at that) it drives me crazy to have the place be messy or dirty or dusty or just blah! I now dust and vacuum my apartment twice a week and clean the bathroom once a week. I also "deep clean" the kitchen once a week also along with sweeping and mopping. And guess what day I do all of this on???? Yup. Saturday. I never would've thought I'd turn into this but here I am! It gets especially bad when I know we're going to have company over. I seriously go on a cleaning frenzy!! I never understood why my mom would make us clean really good when company was coming over but now I'm totally eating my words. Great.
Next example, my mom would always but out "decoration" towels for the current season or holiday or make us kids swear that we would not use them to dry dishes or to dry our hands. Well guess who put out Halloween "decoration" towels today??? I did. And guess who made Travis swear he wouldn't use them to dry dishes or his hands??? I did. See. I told you it was happening.
At this point all I can do is laugh. Laugh because there's definitely no turning back now. I'm on my way to becoming the epitome of a mother, a wife and a housekeeper. But you know what? I think I'm ok with that. It makes me happy.
