Stay-at-home Wife

I used to love to work.
What I mean by that is, I used to love to have a job.

I liked to leave, go somewhere, fulfill my responsibilities, take a lunch break, work hard some more, drive home, rest, and get paid!

Now I work at home
What I mean by that is, I am a stay-at-home wife.

This is hard for me. I don't like staying home at all.
I find myself wishing I had somewhere important to be.
I also have a hard time motivating myself to do work around the house.
I've never liked cooking or cleaning. Now I have to do these things without instruction.
I'm lost to say the least.
It also sucks that I don't get paid. 😩

I'm not a particularly materialistic person. Actually I'm not at all. I hate shopping and collecting a lot of things. Even still, I liked getting paid because it was like a sign to me that I was accomplishing something. When my bank account went up, I would reflect on the progress I have made.

Now I need to find a creative way to feel like I am accomplishing something at home. I need it for my sense of self-worth. How can I convince myself that I'm not just cleaning in circles and living the same day over and over again?

Even though I may not have an important place to go to, I have an important place to be, and that's here. So I need to figure this out so I can make the most of it and fulfill my new responsibilities.
