Today i started a new job,i have always wanted to do this ;i was a homemaker it was fun but it was alot of work  i was very stressed also because i did not know how to do alot of it,so i had to learn.I have i had to sow,cook,take care of my,and there and my animals.i also had to wash clothes and teach my children how to read if i knew how,also i made soaps and candles with alot of other people and also how we made it was over a fire because if i cleaned my house and then i made soap it would just make a big mess and then i would have to clean it would be a big disaster and then i would have to clean it up agian so that is why we make it over a big fire and somtimes the soap can burn you so you would have to be very careful.I also had to tend my kids if they were sick.some chores i had were seasonal.My spring job was to clean my house, in summer i dried herbs and fruit,in fall i husked cornand smoked meat,in winter i spinnied and sowed,last thing before i go i have to do these jobs alot over and over agian.Tell me what you would if you had this job and how you would feel.
