    I agree with Trillian and Kate LMAO! Knowing its 30 minutes til Shel gets home, AND I have studyt to do, makes housework pretty appealing!

    (not that I am doing much at the moment, Shel being SAHM for the past 2 weeks has made the house spotless, I'm in awe of her capabilities )

    Leash, why could she not do that before she was a SAHM? ROFL.

    I dunno, I thought the same thing LOL! But seriously, she manages to do so much! I barely have to do anything! I come home and it's spotless, and she even prepares dinner during the day so all she has to do is cook it! I'm embarrassed at how slack I was, not that I'm complaining about her doing it all and leaving me nothing!

    Routine.

    Every morning I get up, have breaky and then spend some time cleaning. That way the house is always in a fairly good condition and I can start the day with a clean house.

    Do it like that for long enough and the routine becomes the motivation.

    This is me! I became an exceptionally good ironer when I had assignments to do. You see, if I was ironing, it was perfectly acceptable to watch the daytime soaps as I was "busy" and the assignments would wait until I wasn't "busy"...hahahaha

    Mine is a combination of just having a clean house for my kids, knowing it is clean for if people come over and at the end of the day, before it all gets trashed again, it is nice to feel like I have accomplished something as most days it is an effort to find the time to run a brush through my hair!
