The Ninja Homemaker is the character I play (I play characters in my head) when I am doing all the anonymous chores a homemaker does. Ninja Homemaker is swift in her work and is never or rarely thanked because Ninja Homemaker is never or rarely seen doing these chores and cannot therefore be given credit.
Top Ten Areas Conquered by the Ninja Homemaker
10.) There was a grape juice spill in the fridge that was left to ferment for a few weeks. Ninja Homemaker cleaned it up with nary a word to the guilty party.
9.) Thought maybe he just got a good run with a good tooth brush? Think again. Ninja Homemaker knows that the American Dental Association recommends replacing your brush every 3-4 months. Good dental visit? Thank a Ninja.
8.) Coffee Maker is ready to go with the push of a button in the morning. Ninja!
7.) Ketchup spill on very important white t- shirt? Ninja knows what to do. Ancient Chinese secret? Hardly. Ninja Homemaker secret.
6.) Male head of household steps into the bathroom to ready for work and exits to find his bed is made and his socks are laid out. ninja!
5.) A meal is eaten and when all family members are at the table eating there is a mysterious whirring sound coming from the kitchen. What is it? Ninja Homemaker already washed all the meal prep mess and is running a full load to make way for dinner dishes. What a clever girl that Ninja is!
4.) That super fancy, for show only, made by my Grandma towel in the bathroom that he secretly uses to wipe his face every time he brushes his teeth? Ninja washes and fluffs it twice a week.
3.) Hey, wait a minute. Wasn’t there…? I could’ve sworn I saw… There was peanut butter smeared on the corner of the TV screen with what looked like a bit of banana mashed in, but now it’s gone without a trace. That Ninja!
2.) If you live in a more (ahem) “frugal” household, odds are that a number of movies are viewed on VHS cassette tapes. Someone rewinds them. They are always rewound and ready to view. But who? And when? Ninja!
and the number one area conquered by Ninja Homemaker:
1.) Uh Oh! That roll of toilet paper looks like it’s running low. Hey! Who did…? What the Bedazzler?! Someone replaced it and even as I stand right here and look at the roll, I cannot for the life of me tell you who changed it. Ninja did.
I know I am not the only homemaker who plays the role of Ninja. I salute all of you, Anonymous Ninja Homemakers! You truly do make this world go round. They may not notice the work you do, but I do. And I think you’re fantastic.
I love the ninja homemaker. My favorite is grandma’s towel.
And the header looks great. Totally great. Now I need me one of them headers for my blog.
Love the pic and assurance at the top of your blog… awesome! I guess I’m not quite as Ninja as you are yet, but I’m working on it. Josh thinks ninjas are awesome, so he’d probably like the idea of a ninja homemaker.
Thank you, Sarah. Never dry your hands in my bathroom. Now you know.
Alyson, you are a Pampered Chef Ninja. “Hey! Where did this play scape come from and how did we pay for these new tires?”
Pampered Chef Ninja knows.
I wanna be a Ninja!
Maybe housework would be more fun if I morphed into a superhero…I’ll give it a whirl.
Hey! You’re right! I AM a PC ninja!
funny funny girl…lori
Kim, All you have to do is embrace the Ninja that is already inside of you. Embrace the Ninja.
Love it!
Your new header RAWKS by the way. Looks great.
Thank you so much for mentioning the header! I loved the picture that Susan took so much and I was thrilled when another of my good friends turned out to be also a good photoshopper/blog magic worker.
I am tickled pink with the results. I think the last time I was this giddy with my own picture was when I did the bridal pictures for my wedding. Seriously.
I was trying to think of a fabulous ninja joke to go along with your post, but the only one I know requires that the joke be said, not written. So maybe later, I will call you and you will laugh for hours at my ninja joke.
I’m only sad that we can’t share it with the rest of the class.
I need a ninja!
I wish I could be your ninja. You know I totally would.
Ahhhhhh Ninja grasshopper, it appear you learn lesson from NINJA LOCUST well.

You know I learned from a master ninja, Dad.
