In addition to those you may be interested in my unique wall mount drying racks which can accommodate up to 5 QUEEN sized bed sheets! The best part is the drying rack extends from the wall only 3.5" when not in use so it takes up very little space in the home. The sturdy 1" diameter drying rods won't bend and are made of strong Douglas fir. If you would like to have a look at the drying rack please visit www.hoganwood.com Hopefully more people will be turning off the most energy intensive appliance in the home. Thanks for your post!

I DO think that a fair number of people aren't aware of just how demanding our jobs at home are. Many sahp (parents as there are more and more men doing this, too! WOOHOO) have made personal sacrifices to be home and in all honestly, some people don't want to make those sacrifices. I know that a lot of people would rather work full-time to buy $350 a week in food rather than learning to stretch $100/wk in groceries (through canning, baking, scratch cooking and gardening) and working only part-time. It's just nice knowing that there are more Suzy Homemakers out there!!! thanks for the reply and support!

I have some friends that call me Suzy Homemaker but in a nice way. I enjoy being a stay at home wife/mom. My husband would tell anybody who'd listen how much he likes coming home to a clean house, supper on the table, kids taken care of, etc. Maybe they are just jealous of you and really wish they could be in your shoes : ) I know the feeling.
