So, I put the "HELP" callout to the scribble list since Mel and I had been slacking on housework due to projects and the house was getting to both of us before he left for Atlanta. So, I got home with Benton, who had a hearty dinner at school and I started in on teh kitchen and guest bathroom while he watched one episode of Octonauts. I made huge progress and get the front room decluttered, the trash mail trashed, the table cleaned and the piano partially cleaned off. I also go the bathmats into the wash. Got benton to bed with a book and scribes were arriving who helped get the family room picked up and the front room / family room vacuumed and coffee made. YAY! Seriously felt way better about the house and my mental state cleared up completely so I could concentrate on stuff. It was sticky and hot in the house since the secondary cooler stopped working. The fan died in a storm the night before and its either a relay or the motor or something. I don't do cooler work so I have to wait for mel to fix it. I got a fan running so that helped a bit. Willa was awesome and cut out all of my trim that I need to either pleat or rouche for the victorian and I got the jacket all sewn together and am letting the lining and the shell settle for a bit. I also got hair clips put into my hat and started sewing trim pieces together. I wil serge and turn them tonight and get the trim rouching started so I can figure out where on the over skirt I want he trim pieces and to get the ruffles on the overskirt.
