My two sons keep me going. Otherwise I'd just sit on the couch smoking cigarettes taking ativan all day.

As for cleaning up the house. I'm like you. I start stuff and never finish it. But I have found that if I make myself do one thing an hour (like making the bed, doing the dishes, clean a toilet, blah blah blah) I feel like I'm being lazy but also getting stuff done. Each of those things doesn't take more then 15 minutes and you can reward yourself by loafing on the couch for another hour.

Or sometimes my 6 year old will say "this house is a total mess mom. can you clean it by the time I get home?" Yeah. Wha???
