I'm concentrating on the organizer's dictums:

--Clear the decks in the kitchen before opening the computer (UNBELIEVABLY hard)

--Make sure breakfast is ready to be made when the girls get up

--Make sure at least one load of laundry gets washed and put away

--Clear the decks again and be ready to make dinner when John gets home.

So far, the results are mixed. I've managed to keep the kitchen to a dull roar, and we've gotten breakfast at a timely hour every day. Laundry has been more variable. Trotting up and down the stairs when I've been so tired has been hard. But today I feel better and so I'm going to give it the old college try.

When John gets home tonight we'll probably spend some evening time moving his clothes downstairs into the guest room. This sounds dramatic, but really, that's where he gets dressed every day, and undressed to boot. It's accepting reality, and the hope is that he'll be able to find his clothes easier, put them away himself easier, and keep the guest room tidier. Here's hoping.
