Today's card was divine committment. I'm not sure if the cards are following a theme, or if I am just interpreting them along that line.
I might keep mentioning the fact that my house is clean, and that might seem like a strange thing to those who don't know me. For those who do, know that our house is usually, well, not neat. As one website coins it, we live in CHAOS, Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome. So the fact that I have had the house in company ready condition for a week is quite an accomplishment. So as I have been drawing the cards intention, awareness, and committment this past week, it has been helping me to stay on track with this.
Intention only means something with action.
Awareness brought a metaphysical quality to order.
Committment drove home the reason why I am doing this.
Thanks for the divine support universe!

Domestic Demi-Goddess
Today was divine joy, and I truly felt this card.
I have been unemployed for almost a year now. I had visions of what I wanted to do with this time. Today was the first day in all this time that I felt that I was doing what I wanted.
While Andy tells me that I set the feminist movement back when I say this, I do indeed want to be a housewife. I keep telling him that feminism isn't that I can't be a housewife, it's that I have that choice, and not have the role thrust upon me.
Today, I was a HOME MAKER. I was actively making my home. 2 loads of laundry done, folded, and put away. A load of groceries bought and put away. A large batch of vegetable soup made and put into the freezer in smaller batches. A large batch of Butternut Squash Ginger Apple soup, same thing. A home made pizza for dinner. 2 messes from a bulimic cat cleaned up. Dishes done, kitchen clean....this is what I want to do. Take care of my home (and home includes the actual building and those in it).
I hate to say this, but it is certainly easier to keep the house clean since Andy is not here. There is nothing more frustrating than cleaning, and then finding a mess that I didn't create.
You can always tell when the house is a disaster, I spend more time on the computer. My laptop is in the bedroom. When the house is a disaster, I hide. I don't want to see it or deal with it. So I hole up in the bedroom. I have my computer, books, and a television. That's enough to get me through the day. Catch 22...the house is a mess so I hide, but the more I hide, the messier the house gets. Right now the house is clean, and so it's easy to keep it up. I've made this promise before, but I make it again, I intend to keep it this way.
I'd call myself a domestic goddess, but I save that term for my sister who does things like what I did today, but does it with 2 kids under the age of 2. I'm not in her ranks yet.
