MY DOMESTIC POLICY IS "FROZEN AND CLEAN"

My 'DOMESTIC POLICY' is FROZEN and CLEAN!

Ok I really should explain...

Each year most of us review our lives - goals, priorities, issues, outcomes.

For me, each yearly review almost always comes back to Frozen and Clean....

(still curious? read on).

When I was in my early 20's I thought "perfect" housekeeping mattered, that cooking (tho I stink at it) should be routinely attempted lol and EVERY piece of laundry in the hamper was a major issue'. In my MID-20's I wondered about the veracity of the previously mentioned points and wavered a bit (ok, ok, I staggared and fell.. lol). AS I slid toward the end of my 20's I decided I was going to have to more or less choose priorities... I know (and have unDYING respect for!) women who can run a business or hold a job, run a household, maintain a good marriage and function within the bounds of sanity all at the same time - in fact I tried to sign up for classes instructing how this is accomplished but DAMN! no one offered any...

Thus I decided I needed to develop a 'DOMESTIC POLICY' that was within my grasp.

So I trimmed the list of MUST DO DAILY.

I re-arranged the list of 'IMPORTANT'

I pondered the meaning of life.

I figured out how many hours it ACTUALLY takes me to run a business well.

I calculated time for fun (like spending time here),

I figured in some time for 'being there' for people I love

(and a few minutes for people I like too :-)

I reviewed time spent with my DH

(still adore him - quite a lot as a matter of fact).

Crunched a few numbers, ate a few twinkies laid it all out with business plan efficiency and clarity. My bottom line (no pun intended!) domestic plan for a life I can both manage and enjoy is this:

A FREEZER FULL OF FROZEN DINNERS & CLEAN UNDERWARE.

Maybe if 2007 is a good year I'll upgrade my domestic policy to include

NEW UNDERWARE and some of the GOOD frozen dinners! lol......Then again the upgrade may have to wait till 2008!
