Teach yourself the relative value of things.

A hundred dollar bill is of greater value than one for five dollars, and the life of your baby more important than the value of the hundred dollar bill.

Put first things first, and secondly, and tertiary, and quarternary things in their relative positions.

Your health and self-poise should come first, the comfort and happiness of husband and family next, the more or less spotlessness and tidiness of the house afterwards.

Then, if you cannot have your house as tidy as you wish, resolutely resolve that you will not be disturbed.
