Help! There's a Tigress in the House

Más información sobre el libro

When the retirement gun sounded, my husband left his executive desk to invade my home territory. In an instant, I transformed into a fierce Tigress, ready to defend my domain. This collection of light-hearted vignettes for retirees is penned by award-winning writer Helen Glissmeyer, a freelance journalist with hundreds of published articles and accolades, including the 2002 Writer of the Year by the League of Utah Writers. Residing in Holladay, Utah, with her retired husband, she is also a mother of four and a grandmother to 13. Like a tigress protecting her territory, I fought fiercely when my husband retired. Once, I was a happy homemaker, having overcome the sadness of my children leaving the nest. I relished my newfound freedom, enjoying leisurely mornings, light lunches, and afternoons filled with hobbies. I felt independent and in control of my palace. Meanwhile, my husband ruled his own white-collar kingdom from the 18th floor of a downtown tower, commanding a team of accountants and secretaries. He allowed me to believe I was in charge of our home, but when he stepped into my space, the balance shifted, and I became a defensive, unpleasant beast. My once peaceful life was disrupted, and I roared to reclaim my territory.
