Now keep in mind this is an example of a day I work from home. 2-3 days a week I preform insurance exams, and recently I've been helping with wellness clinics. Most of the days I work away from home I don't do my work at home jobs, except maybe blogging. I also try to get some crocheting in most days. I do this during my down time and while waiting for time to start working. On fridays I clean our church.
As you can see a housewife doesn't just sit around watching soaps, talk shows, and sappy movies. That's not to say there aren't housewives who do these things, but most of us don't.
