Mama Witch is NOT a Stepford Wife!

Soooooo - I am just begining to think that the idea of organization and tidiness and are just an illusion after all. A picture an a copy of Women's Day from 1950. And, you know, fuck it, Mama Witch is ok with that.... Now, make no mistake - there is a DISTINCT difference between dirty and messy and dirty is unacceptable and lazy but, messy? Well, that's called living. I used to be neatnik extrodinaiare - in fact, the running joke was that people were known to slip on my floors with SNEAKERS on because they were so shiny and every paper had a place and dust was just simply exstinct in the Witch home! Sure, it was a 8 - 10 hour cleaning sprint daily, sure it was good excersize but it sucked! I missed out on so much.....Wanna get up and go to the flea market? Nope the cupboards aren't dusted. Wanna go to Mom's house for a visit? No way - without vacuuming OUR house? What a waste. I am so sick and tired of little girls being "bred" to be sweet mommies and culinary geniouses and make the house quaint while boys are bred to fight, be aggresive, climb to the top, express themselves and stir the nest! Time for us to stir the nest, Ladies! For all you girls and out there, burn your cookbooks that Mother gave you as a wedding gift, put the spoons in the slot where the forks should go (it'll irritate someone -teehee), take your magazines and stack 'em in the living room, let your Wee one's enjoy THEIR ROOM, not turn it into a tomb where cool toys go to die (not without several good dustings, of course)....Then....go stock up on some TV dinners and Kraft Mac n Cheese, buy paper plates and utensils, plop on the couch with the clicker and pick up this month's issue of Bitch magazine (which has some fascinating articles this month as does Sage Women's issue currently on stands:Mother w/Goddess Rhiannon), grab a Mike's Hard Lemonade and chill.....You deserve it, girl!
