Introduction

You are probably asking yourself, what is Advance Theoretical Home Economics? Well the long answer is it is the artful practice of planning and listing. The dedication and imagination that come together in such a way that we develop a keen sense of style and organization. The short answer: Loving listing and planning every aspect of running a home but being too lazy to actually do it. I suffer horribly from this affliction, I list like a madwoman, plan and obsess over cleaning routines and family schedules but sleep until 11:00 and stay in my PJ's unless I have to go somewhere, my kitchen is perpetually dirty and my living room looks like a scene from Mad Max. This blog will be a nice mix of lists and routines, recipes, tutes and whatever else I find myself doing. Along with some insight to my day to day struggles with overcoming my lazy assed habits.

I have been wondering lately about this obsession I have with doing nothing. I mean, 6 months ago I would say "I'm going home and doing nothing!" and it sounded like the best evening ever to me. I mean I seriously didn't want to do anything that was physically demanding in even the slightest sense. Lay on couch, watch movie, eat hamburger helper. But deep, deep down I hated what I was doing (or not doing). 23 years old and I have nothing to be excited about. Nothing to look forward to really. I felt like a failure as a wife and mother. Now I have started to really think about my choices lately and how the are affecting my life and my family. Not only that, but I'm wondering what is with this fascination with doing nothing? Nothing? Really? That could be really boring. Not to mention, what am I missing?

So this is hopefully going to help anyone else who is struggling with the same things I am, so far I've gotten a lot better about cooking more, and as of today I'm almost completely caught up on my laundry (gasp!).

Why do you think about doing "nothing"? Is it appealing or appalling?
