It's funny that I came across this because cleaning the house just kills me but it seems that I am the only person in my household who really cares. I try not to do too much at once but mopping, sweeping, and leaning over dusting and this is just the first floor. I'm trying to get my 15 yr to help me but she doesn't like the work. I try to teach her a good work ethic but you think that I laid the world on her shoulders. It doesn't help that her friends have money and they think its riduculous of what I ask of her. It's amazing when I just come across a note or topic that hits so close to home. roni

When my pain gets really bad, I try listening to classical music...in Russia, they tend to use baroque music...my favorite is Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier" collection of harpsichord shorts.
