Good morning to you all! Thanks for all the good advice. Kelly emailed me yesterday and doesn't want to upset the apple cart too much because she and her brother are finally getting along so we put our heads together and decided to cater in the whole shebang, but when it came to clean up, all of us are going to gang up on those two. She suggested assignments so Jack's assignment when I signal it is time to clean up is to tell Jay to help him clean up the throw away paper stuff (we aren't using china either this year) and haul out trash, we are going to give dil the job of bagging and boxing leftovers, Tom and Kelly will load their dishwasher as they know how it should be done and I am going to clean tables, counters stoves etc and help with any dish drying of stuff that won't fit into the dishwasher. Thomas will be in charge of the baby while we are doing it all. We shall see how that goes. I have always totally agreed it isn't right that everyone not help. Funny thing is, they certainly do it when her parents are at their house and have some get together.
Susan: It was super warm here yesterday. I went up to take a shower and the dang shower head broke off right in my hand....{{{{SIGH}}}} It always seems to happen to me!
Jack was miffed at me when the spout broke off the tub last year so I thought he would be mad, but he just laughed. He said the stuff was the original fixtures so it was bound to happen sooner or later and when I reminded him he got mad at me about the spouts (it happened with both tubs acutally) he apologized. So, we had to go out last night and buy a new one and get a pipe wrench. Now Jack can fix some of the little plumbing issues! YEAH! We now have completely new fixtures in the hall bath since having the plumbing issue fixed last month. I also got the kind of shower head I wanted, a hand held one, so I can wash the shower tiles down easier. Best of all, Jack likes it and isn't grousing about the amount of water pressure it puts out. He likes to be beat to death when he showers!
Jean: Well, I found out yesterday I have more handbags than hooks to put them on. The things I bought are cool though. They are stretchy nylon strapping and hook over the top and bottom of the door with the hooks being able to slide up and down. I had enough for 32 handbags and have 3 handbags left over! Ahh well! Jack said he was sure I had at least 60 handbags....
I also put all the wrapping paper and ribbon and such in the quilted holders I bought so that mess is more orderly. I am working on sweaters today, separating those I want to get rid of, those I want to put in space bags and those I want to hang on the new hangers when they get here. The lady said they are delayed until the first of December! I can then drag up the two wooden shelving seats and rearrange all that stuff. Maybe sooner or later I can get into Jack's office and do a rehaul there. It is a total mess, not all of which is his fault.
Are you going to vote morning or after work? We are going when Jack gets off work and I dread it. Don't know how long the lines will be.
Everyone have a good day. I am off to start morning chores then do my cleaning and then start on sweater sorting.
