I had her start straightening her room before school two days ago, and lo and behold, what would have taken her HOURS in the afternoon took less than twenty minutes when she knew she only had a very short, finite amount of time before it was time to call it quits!

I have done this with my little guy and this also describes me last Saturday trying to do housework on my own. I did make it through 2 bathrooms before succumbing to an internet/Facebook break. I'm glad I'm not alone, but it does look like this will continue for years to come, seeing as my child has only just entered tweenhood, and he has my genes.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301050540646040225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-36406636114583692322014-05-20T11:10:48.595-05:002014-05-20T11:10:48.595-05:00Yeah, I'm still stuck on "every sock has ...Yeah, I'm still stuck on "every sock has a mate".
