1. Pour bleach in the toilets and let it sit all day...the chlorine odor smells like you have been cleaning!
2. Schedule small chores when the system slows down. For example, when FR slows to a crawl I hit refresh and then dust all the end tables in the living room and family room.
3. Crock-pot meals, made early in the morning before the Rat lawyers start filing their injunctions, are impressive and will hold indefinitely. I prefer vegetable soup or chili, but others may have more glamorous recipes.
4. It is always better to get dressed BEFORE the rest of the family arrives home.
