Rexroth--I hope you feel better & hope that the electricians arrive today & fix whatever is wrong.
My update:
My parents are staying in my messy, cluttered, dusty home for a week. They are truly wonderful. My Mom wants to help me and means really well. I see the disgust and disappointment in her but she is trying.... So, we have been doing a few things.
I cleared out half a drawer from my office file cabinet....tons put in recycle bag & lots my Mom shred for me. The reason I wanted to do this is I have lots of important papers sitting around my eating area which is waay too cluttered and not comfortable for all of us to eat in there. I am worried about losing important papers that need to be in a file cabinet...like DH's Corporate papers, etc.
It is so hard to declutter areas because the places stuff needs to go to are totally cluttered... Like camping equipment is to go in the garage, but my DS & mostly my DH have messed up what I had originally organized so badly that I can't put the huge pile in my entry hall in there. I did move it into my eating area as a staging place for it to either go up into the attic or into the garage. (The pull down to the attic is in my eating area & the garage is right off of the eating area.) Most of the stuff in entry hall is DH's ...and he needs to go thru it. Computers, papers, parts, tools, etc. My DH offered to give us 2 hours a night but hasn't happened yet. He is too busy with his work.
It is like that all over my house...so feel like I am just moving things from here to there.
We also decluttered since Sunday...
*DD's floor around bed, changed the linens, vacuumed.
*(I cleaned the front bathroom thoroughly before they arrived on Sunday).
*DS's floor, changed the linens & vacuumed. Started on closet, but after removing stuff from there...noticed the carpet was wet & mildew... So, bleach has been sprayed & fan put on the pulled back carpet area...
*cleared out a big ice chest full of stuff
*(I vacuumed den & hallway before parents arrived).
*We've done laundry and dishes.
*Big part of 1 file cabinet drawer.
*Moved camping stuff from entry hall.
*(I swept & mopped kitchen before parents arrived).
*I went to 2 days of Boot Camp this week
*Got kids off to their respective camps. DD's Girl Scout Destination in Michigan at a Girl Scout Camp. She is in apprenticeship type camp...taking a 9 or 10 day class. At the end is a test & upon passing She will be a Certified Wilderness First Responder. This is a serious course and is only offered every 2 years at the Girl Scout location. I forgot the name of the organization that comes there & teaches the class...
DS is off on high adventure with Boy Scouts...Backpacking trek at Philmont in the mountains of New Mexico.
Hope to check back in later tonight or tomorrow.
Make it a great day!
CD

:-*Hi, Rexroth, eagle, and CanDo!
I just got in from a very busy night at work. Then, I got the car gassed ($4.45 per gallon.) Snagged a snack salad, now I'm killing time until our mandatory staff meeting. I won't go to bed until it's over. Maybe 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. My brain is already fried...
checked e-mail, sent a couple of short ones, changed clothes. Back tomorrow. Enjoy your parents' visit. Your situation of moving things around sounds so much like me, CD.

Hi saffron hi everyone,
The electrician has been and done the work. I need to replace the skirting boards and generally tidy up and this will take a fair bit of time. I'm having to reroute his wiring which is safe as I am not interfering with the connections.
Now for bed
Night everyone
Rexroth

Hi, not sure if this is the right place - since it is almost Saturday here, but oh well.
My to-do's for Saturday -
- put up the first aid kit that has been sitting out on the bathroom counter for two weeks
- throw away the empty bottles of shampoo/conditioner that junk up the bathtub corners
- Feel good that I accomplished those two things, and not stress about ALL that I didn't accomplish;
