Housekeeping (I did not say homemaking, did I?):

1. Clean for one hour per day. Set a timer. When it goes off, stop. I'm serious. Don't keep cleaning, you can finish tomorrow.
2. Follow the above stated rule no matter how messy the house is, how many rotted milk sippy cups are sitting in the sink, how much laundry there is, how many poopy diapers are waiting to be taken out to the trash, etc...
3. Never break the first rule. If you do, depression be upon your head.

Guess I'd better get off my chair and go set my timer.

I just hired a maid for 4 hours a week - now all you need to do is work for 3 hours a week :) -- 'Blissful Mama's Guide'.

finding me--I snorted when I read that. touche (with an accent...I can't remember which alt+100-level number combination makes the right accent). Any french typers out there?
