It’s hard for me to get going during the day. I sit down with my coffee, catch up on some light reading (news, twitter, blogs and the like), feed and diaper the babies, make the toddler some breakfast, then I have to force myself to get started for the day.
I’m finding that if I’m wearing my sexy Christmas gift apron while cleaning, it’s easier to keep focused. It’s a nice unexpected side-effect. If I get pulled away by various kids, I remember “oh yeah, I was scrubbing that pot” and go back to it, whereas without it I’d get sidetracked and end up halfway across the house and come back to a dirty pot full of dirty cold water an hour later. Kind of like the old tie-a-string-around-your-finger bit.
It’s also a little sexy, and makes me imagine cooking for him naked in nothing but the apron and heels. Hmm. Must make plans for this at some point.
