One minute to calm down, regulate, lose the bat-shit crazy behaviour and then we might have her in the right state to either (1) apologize or (2) do a Re-do. <br />Also love your kitchen timer strategy for cleaning. I shall adopt that too. I use it for exercise - that same kind of trickery will frequently get me through a 20 or 30 minute session.Maple Walnut Mamahttp://maplewalnutmama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
