Joy of joys--the one task every homeowner despises with a passion is being dealt with by my hubby right now. (If you own a house, you can guess this one!) I'm just glad it's being taken care of BEFORE we have guests for the holiday! He's also exploring leeching fields with the guy before he leaves, so we can redirect gray water to a more appropriate place in the very near future & tax the system far less than we have been.
One of the less embarrassing but no less time-consuming chores in the dining room was completed by my still-grounded 13 year old yesterday. She only had to dust the interior of the china cabinet, which of course is a bother because all the china & crystal had to be removed first, then replaced after the job was done. The rest of the room will probably get done tomorrow evening after work (I offered to help my 9 year old's Girl Scout troop leader & the girls make Christmas tree costumes for the 12/7 Christmas parade.) Tonight we'll be affixing styrofoam stars to birthday party hats, plus adding pinned-on tree ornaments including tinsel to green sweatshirts they can un-decorate & wear again after the parade. I love having a recycling nut in charge of the troop; the idea to NOT glue the decorations on was hers.
Meanwhile...back to work, where I have to finish writing a legal brief!
