Are You a Desperate Housewife?

We have all heard of the TV series "Desperate Housewives" or watched it on Sunday nights, but is it really an accurate title for the beautiful, perfectly fit actresses that portray the "Desperate Housewives"? I have watched the show since season 1 and continue to watch every Sunday but I have come to the conclusion of what a REAL Desperate Housewife is and it doesn't include nannies, maids and young hot gardeners. After 2 years and 2 babies later, I have realized the meaning of "Desperate Housewife" so I decided to write about some clues that would indicate the possibility of being a REAL Desperate Housewife. By no means is being a housewife a bad thing and I wouldn't trade the oppurtunity for anything (ok, maybe a maid and hot gardener but I prefer to raise my own kids). In fact, a stay at home Mom or housewife is probably one of the biggest underrated and unappreciated job out there! For those of you who can relate, you will understand what I mean.
Clue #1-The Amazing Race
You either take a shower after the kids go to bed or wake up early enough (before they do) to take one. As you get undressed and into the warm shower, you lather the soap on and shampoo your hair when suddenly you hear your child start waking up. You now feel like you are on the Amazing Race and rush to finish showering. So you hurry up, wash the soap out, jump out of the shower, throw a towel around you and hurry to your child's bed. And 9 out of 10 times, your child has dozed off again, leaving you standing there dripping wet with no conditioner in your hair and 1 leg shaven. If this happens to you, you may just be a REAL Desperate Housewife.
