Flylady's methods really work best if you're a SAHM with school-aged children (so you have a ton of housecleaning to do and most of the day you're home by yourself).

Indeed. I must admit, folding 4 loads of laundry in one day would be enough to tear my hair out.

Since I'm off on Fridays, that's laundry day. (Although right now I'm at Tire Discounters getting my car's tires rotated and balanced, ooooh, the excitement.) I generally do one load of sheets/towels, one load of dark clothes, and one load of light clothes. (All my clothes; Tim does his own.)

(Although right now I'm at Tire Discounters getting my car's tires rotated and balanced, ooooh, the excitement.)

This morning my car told me a tire's air pressure was too low. We're in a cold-snap, which must have reduced pressure enough to trigger the warning.

But the tire was probably already low before today, so I guess I should be checking air pressure more often, but it's nice my car can compensate for my laziness.

I think all new cars these days have tire pressure sensors.

As I am now a SAHM with school-aged children, I have to say that the level of cleaning my house needs seems to be escalating (and it's not a mental thing with me, because my guilt is not wired that way). Children make a lot of mess when they're not in before-school and after-school. I could vacuum every other day. (I don't, but I probably should.) And the bathroom, oy.

I have made a doctor's appointment. And my coughing is causing coworkers to ask me if I'm dying. I think I'll go home after lunch and work from there.

Oof. Feel better, shrift!

We do 3 loads a week. all of our sheets and towels are white, so that's one. Then colored and black clothes. We hang-dry a lot of stuff and fold all the rest that day. Leaving laundry out just means it gets covered in cat and dog hair (and possible bonus cat vomit) before we get to wear it.

I'm actually feeling better today than earlier this week, so I'm amused that it's only today that coworkers are all "um, go home?"

Go home and get some rest, shift. Don't you work for the big G? Is so, then we are pseudo coworkers.

Romney probably cheated at the debate. From Wonkette:

Oh Look Here Is Cheating Cheater Mitt Romney Pulling Illegal Notes Out At The Debate (Updated)

My, that takes some brass. We checked. No pre-written notes were allowed.

Anyone miss the good old days of George W. Bush’s “bullet proof vest”?

Update! The Romney campaign claims the object in question is an incredibly starched handkerchief, which Romney unaccountably used to cover the paper at his podium. If anything it just makes too much sense!

Update Again! Here, via a Sam Stein tweet, is Mitt Romney wiping his nose with what looks like a paper napkin, which would be stiffer than a handkerchief, it is true! So we are now willing to stipulate that it is possible Mitt Romney is not a cheating cheater, in this one instance.

But he totally still could be.

Edit to add "probably"
