your dh is a lot like me so i can understand him wanting to do the rooms together. the whole "5 minute" thing came from me wanting to do the house at the same time - he's just got an even more narrow focus! lol
i'm so glad you got another 2 hours but i hope your company shows after all that. i bet the girls would be disappointed if they didn't. have fun! that's very cool about dh's sister.
i'll help you keep your house clean this week since i'll still be cleaning! i think this may be the first t ime we (as in you and i) have gotten ready for christmas together - normally one or the other of us ends up going off by ourselves for christmas. this has really helped me so thanks a lot - i hope it's been helping you too!
we have a list for tonight and it's not too bad. i'm gong to keep drilling even tho i know you're not here. but i'll be thinking about you and your company - i hope they get there and you have a wonderful time. and can put your feet up soon!
