[QUOTE="SRL, post: 34393, member: 701"] LOL Lothlorien, my husband looked at the clock with two hours left before company arrived and finished the end of our banister which we'd forgot and went over the nails in the beadboard. I'm with Missy, a nap would have been good. difficult child was truly amazing--after years of holiday meltdowns I'm delighted to say he was as calm as could be yesterday from start to finish. He asked to play videogames while we were doing the final set up so I let him go on extra knowing it would keep him occupied. When the crowd came around the table he found me and told me he would wait in his room until the line was gone. I had one of those silent "Yahoo difficult child!!!" moments seeing him identify a potential problem and chose an appropriate means to handle it himself. I would have been happier had he been kinder to the little boy that was here and if he would have eaten less candy but I'll take the improvements :). His room has been full of the fallout from the upstairs all last week and he went to sleep last night just as if it were any other night. I'm one amazed mother. Maybe having the holiday here was easier on him even though it was far, far more chaotic since he knew exactly what to expect. [/QUOTE]
