Household ManagementHousehold management for a working woman consists of crisis management, the size of the crisis is determined by the age of the children. Smaller children need more protection. An older child can step on a bottle cap with impunity. Might keep them
from tossing them on the floor.
FlowersFlowers in a room are great and flowers in a vase in a room, better.
Get from the grocery store. Fire, Candles and Matches Refer to childcareSparkling Crockery and CrystalHave some pretty crystal candle dishes and at least one crystal vase. This spot of civility in a home is always pleasing to the eye. Lead crystal vases are heavy and less likely to allow tip-over by cat. To make them shine, run through the dishwasher on occasion. Use a no-spot formula.FragranceApple pie, cinnamon rolls, and other such delights really make a house smell nice. So does a large vat of spaghetti sauce. If you do not have time to bake, light a candle that smells like cinnamon. If on a diet, take a sedative.It also helps not to light the barbecue near an open window or the fragrance in the room will smell like chemical smoke or charcoal lighter fluid. In that event, light candles as candles eat smoke. (Smoker's trick.) Glade candles will come in handy here. To Create a Pleasing, Ordered bedroomTurn another room of your house into a closet if you can. A spare small bedroom is preferred. Add rolling garment racks or add poles the length of the room. Plastic storage drawers serve nicely to store things away. Buy in bulk.Keep bed area vacuumed (especially under bed). Sometimes it is necessary to remove bed from room to get area vacuumed. Plan on this at least once a year. For emergencies, shove everything into a closet and slam the door. Also can use spare room to same effect. Better plan is to have guy take you to his place. Or refrain from entertaining. Kids can be trained to do this with you. They can do this to their rooms. Why walk-in closets are popular. To Create a Pleasing, Ordered Family RoomPick up everything and shove it into the bedroom, unless you plan to use bedroom later in which case refer to the above.Washing the Kitchen Floor (Naked in the Kitchen)This is best done in the nude. Remove all children., friends and family
from the house and lock the doors and draw the drapes. Strip. Get down
on hands and knees and scrub, scrub, scrub. Naked in
the Kitchen Revisited
