[QUOTE="SRL, post: 33152, member: 701"] This has been a huge amount of work for me but it was much needed. My house has eroded into utter shabbiness inside between the young children years, my husband's and my disfunction when discussing any interior decorating or maintenaince project, and my own ADDlike habits when it comes to housecleaning (wander near the sofa and spot a good book anyone?) This is my husband's extended family coming and one of my friends said he'd be more cooperative about the projects and she was right. Hardly put up a fuss at all. Mind you, this isn't about tools or skills--it's about us dissolving into disagreement with the first words out of the mouth. My lack of keeping a stellar house probably isn't inspirational to him either. There's more to entertaining than a clean house but I needed to do this for us. And the kids are so much more excited about getting to participate in the process instead of packing up our potluck contribution and leaving behind the usual mess. M, I'll be out searching for a sofa cover of some kind today and I did what desperate women everywhere do with my old rocker: sent the cloth covers home to mom the seamstress with a cry for help.
