Housework and Party Preparation

1. Did housework.
2. Did more housework.
3. Did even more housework.
4. Went swimming with Raven.
5. Moved the last two bookshelves out of the nursery.

I must admit I only planned on doing two things for housework today which I figured were absolutely essential. Wash the floors and do the dishes. So when I was done the dishes and the floors I ended up washing the walls. I cleaned both doors (front and back - including screen doors). And I moved things around in the nursery. I put my cloth into our bedroom.

When Raven came over to pick me up for swimming she "helped" Hubby move the bookshelves into our bedroom. Sigh! Which means both of them are in our bedroom. I suppose I will have to deal. At least Hubby has all of his bookshelves in the house. Sigh. So the current state of the nursery is there's a change table in it!!!! Raven brought it over tonight. It was one of the reasons she helped Hubby move things I believe. Though there are still books all over the floor and some boxes. I was hoping for a few more things done tonight but Hubby was getting very aggravated and grumpy with me for insisting on doing things. You know what, he's just going to have to deal with it. It needs to be done and we are literally running out of time. Sure my due date is a month away but in reality it could be any day now. And if the nursery is not done before I go into labour he's going to be in big trouble!!!!

Still Smiles is very excited about her party tomorrow and I am sure she'll be happy. I did have the thought that if the nursery was cleared of things we could use that space should the weather turn out bad. Otherwise I have things planned for outdoor entertainment before bringing them in for presents and cake. You know what I think things will be fine. The only two tasks I left for myself tomorrow was to clean the bathroom (10 mins tops) and then to take a shower. I may do a little more like clearing a table here or some laundry but on the whole I feel quite ready to deal with the party.

I just hope Hubby doesn't make to much of a mess in the kitchen tomorrow morning. I don't want dirty dishes littering the counters when the kids come. Which just means that Hubby should not go on the computer and play WoW in the morning. I know he will because he "hasn't had the chance to play yet!" and will put his tasks off until the last minute. Which may cause stress between us because I will want him to use his time better. I have asked him not to be in the kitchen or on the computer when the kids are here. Simply because I do not think the computer needs to be on (the images of WoW are not really appropriate for young kids - yeah I know our kids see them all the time) and I will be doing the cake in the kitchen so I don't want a mess in there.

Hmmm I hope we don't butt heads too badly tomorrow. After all apparently I am the one in charge of the kids party so he thinks he can sit back and do nothing during it. While he's doing the supper for the family meal that night. The only job I have then is cleaning up after him. Hmmm is that fair? On the most part if he helps a little with the kids I don't think its a problem doing the dishes after his meal preparations. I think that's fair, I just hope he does too.
