Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Homemaker's Sheik podcast.

This is the podcast where we are rescuing the art of homemaking from the daily grind.

And I know we tend to say this, but let me tell you, there was some grind in this week, Angela.

I've done been ground down. I've done been ground down.

I'm Shay Elliott of the Elliott Homestead.com, joined by Angela Reed of Parisian farmgirl.com.

And we sit with you here every Monday to remind you that you are not alone.

And I love it.

We've been going through the comments the last

couple of seasons and a lot of you will share what you're doing when you're listening or something

that's happened while you're listening and you start laughing or you start crying. It's so special

because that's exactly what we hope for. We hope to be in your ears while you're just doing the daily grind just to remind you that it's valuable work and that you're not alone. Hmm. Yeah, I'm feeling like a mere pulp, pulp at this point. A what? A mirror pulp. What's that? I've been ground down. Like, you just ground pulp. See, you told me to get closer to my mic and now all my keys are going to be like attacking. I don't care. Just talk louder. You guys can blame me. Um, maybe I can turn my headphones up. Maybe that'll work. No, that didn't work. We don't know. I don't get it because I'm super loud in my ears it's all right here we are here we are

i'm glad to be here with you all today i had a terrible week she okay so if you've been listening for a

long time you know that february is shay's favorite time of the year. And I was giving her a hard time in January because she reached out with the February desperation call in January, 30 days, right row, 30 days ahead of schedule. And she's still in it to win it.

Oh, are I ever?

Aren't I ever?

I was trying to explain to Stewart.

Stewart is very just so incredibly steady.

He is not an emotional roller coaster. You don't have to learn how to ride the waves,

okay? That is not a spiritual gift that I have been given. At all. And, you know, I know there are some people they I don't remember thinking about it growing up

I don't remember thinking oh winters for hard or cold or I don't like them I don't remember

having a single thought like that hmm I don't either no I don't lack of self-aware. I don't either.

Is it just lack of self-awareness?
