Calling June Cleaver

Yesterday I was introduced to someone as " ...this is the next June Cleaver. Don't let your husband talk to her about what she does for her husband he will never let you forget it!" Yes,I have been told many times that I am the next "June Cleaver." Basically because I get up every morning with my husband, make him coffee, pack his lunch with organic and homemade edibles, then chit chat with him a bit before he leaves for work at 5 am. It used to be 4 am but with the new job he is closer so we can sleep in a bit. No, I don't go back to bed then after he leaves. I pack the munchkin lunches with their organics and homemade snacks, I blog, I scrub the ever filthy kitchen floor, clean the toilets, whatever is half way quiet while I listen to Jean Martierez and Tony MacEwing on channel 11 news tell me what is up in the world, just till it is time to wake up my little noise makers. Weird? So I have been told.
I just like doing it. It is my quiet time with my husband. We talk without interruptions about who is singing louder, or that song on the radio is stupid make her change it, or why cant I have a frozen yogurt to? The rest of the day I live for taking care of the little munchkins that continually make BIG messes, love to yell and are constantly hungry! I feed them homemade everything and get a buzz from finding sales at the supermarket. "Honey you won't believe how much I got this chicken for today! I did not even use a coupon!"My poor husband. I am June. Hey at least I don't clean in heals and my pearls.
My friends know that I do this and have done it for the last 13 years. They tease me about it. I know that they do it in good fun. That is totally fine with me. I know that I am an oddity.
The Cleaver family is not real.
June had to be based on a real woman though right?
She is not just some mans made up fantasy wife is she?
There has to be an organization for women like me out there? Not affiliated with the polygamists please. I am not sharing my husband with ANYONE!
There have to be other women like me out there and are normal to. Right?
Am I an endangered species?
