I no longer read her e-mails, but I still use what I learned years ago.
Hi LMom!
I don't read more than 10% of the emails - there are a lot of them, and sometimes my house is covered with hotspots, and sometimes I make my bed, and then DS12 gets back in it - I could go on and on, but I've found that 'even housework done imprefectly blesses me and my family' - it's my attitude that's changed -also about 157 pounds of clutter that I was able to 'release' into the world!
I used to go on these 'I'm really going to pick up aftermyself' kicks for a few days, and I always seemed to be spending ALL my time putting stuff away. Then I learned that 'You Can't Organize Clutter' and suddenly everything changed for the better.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
