this just in

I was reading the news and noted, "Obama will be a first lady who is a lawyer and working mother, with degrees from Princeton and Harvard." I was amazed. So was Pau and he was like, "bakit yung iba mga walang kwenta, housewife lang?"

"HEY WAG MONG SABIHIN YAN! PANGARAP KO YUNG MAGING HOUSEWIFE. Don't you know that it takes a real strong woman to build a home?"

Well, I think the more appropriate term is housemother. It takes a great deal of patience and understanding and love - to be able to keep your family together, to teach your kids things they will never learn in school, to always greet your husband with a smile, to prepare their things, to devote to them your time.

So they're not just housewives or housemothers or however they choose to call it. They are women of love and strength. :)
