I try and think of the things I want to do when I am done with my chore. I promised my DH I would do some major clearing out of my 'stuff' and I am almost done now. All I want to do is quilt and my in-progress quilt is sitting there casting these -come to mama- eyes at me. So I am doing the housework but thinking of quilting all the time. You will get this quilt done soon and then no more, maybe this is the lesson you needed.
