I make a list of all the things that I would like to get done, even if I know that they will carry over to the next day or thru the week and when I have taken care of as many chores as I can for the day I reward my self with reading. I love to read, could read a book a day if chores didn't have to get done. I come on here early while hubby is asleep or in the afternoon when he takes a nap. That way he doesn't feel to neglected. You'll find the right balance in time.
