DH's cousin's daughter (did you follow that? :P) who isn't quite old enough to babysit is coming over for a few hours on Saturdays to watch T while I do other things around the house (while DH is off at pilates anyway). This is so awesome - I'm folding laundry less than a week after it's washed, cleaning up little things that have been a mess for weeks... I even spent 10 minutes playing my flute for the first time in 3 or 4 years. I had fought DH for a long time over the need for weekend help - I thought we should be able to manage it alone. But honestly, this may be my sanity-saver.
