So Tired...

I went to bed late last night b/c I was up sorting mail (it had been a looong time), and DD woke up more often than usual.  She also won't nap for more than 10 minutes today.  This is even if I hold her.  I needed a nap bad this morning, but now I am really dragging.

The worst part is that the woman who is interesting in housesitting for the next year is coming tonight and it's my job to get the house looking presentable.  So no afternoon nap for me   I have so much to do and only 4 more hours to get it done!  Does anyone have any tips for quick organization/cleaning with a baby to take care of?

Divide, hide, and conquer works for my ADD butt, and

I'm thinking that a baby takes up at least as much time

as "ooohhh...what's that?" does for me.

Divide stuff into spaces that need to get cleaned,

figure out how you can do that with strategic sorting

into storage containers, and rotate through fifteen 

minute cycles on the top four areas.  If you have 

another hour, do another four areas, or go back and 

attack the same four for another fifteen.  Be sure to

take at least one break an hour, and don't go for

more than 2 hours.
