Music in the morning

Several days ago, I finally figured out that I can hook up the speakers from the "dead" computer and listen to my iTunes when I clean.  Now this might seem elementary but stick with me.  I would normally hit the play button and by the third song my computer monitor (which has built in speakers) would go into "sleep" mode...essentially cutting me off.   Now, even if the monitor goes to sleep, the speakers keep the music coming.  I need all the motivation I can get people!  
Today, I was also once again reminded why I need to shower when I get up at 5am.   At www.flylady.com she tells you to "get dressed to your shoes"....and here I sit at 840 still in my jammies.  Now in my previous life...pre-day shift...I would be still in bed sleeping so I suppose I'm not doing too bad.  However, I WANT to take a shower right now.   Problem?  No hot water!  3 showers taken this morning (2 boys and 1 honey) and then I ran the washer on it's monthly "clean" cylce that I haven't done in 2 1/2 months.   Now the dishwasher is running.  I'm thinking by 10am I should be able to get myself a half way decent warm shower! 
I finally bit the bullet today and threw away at least 15 odd socks....so sad.  I am certain that next week their mates will suddenly appear from somewhere!  It's ok, I still have about 25 left in the basket.  Maybe someday when I have a totally clean house and organized basement I will feel comfortable tossing those odd balls that come out of the wash.  Since just a month ago when the snow melted and I found one of the boys socks frozen stiff near the back door, I'm just not fully into the tossing them out mode yet! 
Off I go on my search for the elusive Economics folder.....you don't think those kids would have hidden it so they don't have to do projects do you?
