I do have my regular few minutes a day that I spend on those few chores I mentioned - laundry, vacuuming, and dishes. That keeps the house liveable, though not as nice as I would like. Oh well.<br /><br />One of my problems is, the Hubster is also in survival mode, and he started a renovation project three years ago that is still unfinished. He pulled out the downstairs toilet and flooring, hoping to spend a week or so re-tiling that area, and ever since then we've had no toilet and no linoleum in our foyer. He had to fix a massive problem with the floor in that bathroom, a fault of the builder, and hasn't been able to get any further. Thus yours truly is now also wondering how to finish that chore for him in addition to how to get the house clean. I scraped 2 square feet of linoleum off the kitchen floor today (we're going to re-tile the entire downstairs). I fear I will die with my foyer and kitchen floor unfinished.<br /><br />Ugh!<br /><br />BTW, ping me on Twitter if I'm not following you back yet!
