Early Dinners…
Tonight I started cooking dinner practically as soon as I got home from work, which was like 5pm. 
I didn’t really make anything flash- just a pumpkin spagehetti salad and a potato bake, but it still took an hour to get everything ready and eating.
I am feeling overwhelmed. Is this just me, or the life of every newly married girl? Here’s some things that are taking their toll on me:
Having to share my car. A small thing, yes, something that can’t be helped, yes, but… it’s still hard to get use to, and slightly annoying.
Working while Luke isn’t. I know it annoys and pains him as much as me, but that still doesn’t take away how jealous I am of him.
Working 4 days a week. And then on my day off having to do things like go to the bank and cook food etc… Bore.
Not having time to do the things I want to do. Just things like squeezing my pimples! haha, or was that a little too personal?
Having to cook and clean etc. Never was much of a clean freak, but now that I’m in my own place I seem to suddenly want everything spotless. It doesn’t help that we have nowhere to put our half dirty clothes so they end up on the floor and hten I get angry at Luke. It’s not his fault, but he seems to have born the grunt of lots of my bad moods lately.

The whole ‘working 4 days a week’ thing and having to do chores on your day off, isn’t (at least in my experience) a newly married girl thing.
I think it’s more of a ‘full time job’ thing. Imagine working 5 days a week. With or without a husband, you have to deal with the same problem. I’ve been there - so you have my empathy.
For what it’s worth, you get used to it. And I reckon a husband would help, rather than hinder. Just think of all the things on your to-do list that you can leave behind with me, to give you as much free time on your day off as possible.
I love you.

awww, honey. it will get better. it really is a full-time thing. i have the same thing happen to me when i work full-time… there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the week, because when you get home from a day of work you feel dead.
you do get used to feeling dead, and hence, feel less dead, enough to do a few chores.
my days off are always chores days though.
love you!

helloooo!!!!! Have you ever heard of something called gender equality? You are the Bread Winner at the moment so why dosen’t Luke cook and clean??? Its not hard to do. And yes, we know you are the more gifted in the kitchen but its not like Luke is retarded, he can certainly whip up a pizza or meatloaf (even i can do that).
PS: eeek! he’s already volunteered! Spread the load like butter on toast. Spreeeeead!

And does the fact that it’s not a newly married girl thing mean that it’s any less relevant to me life?!
