Sweetheart's Room

I finished cleaning Sweetheart's room. It's not as lovely as I want it to be, but at least it's clean. I hope to get another set of sheets for the girls' beds so they'll match, plus protective mattress covers and one more pillowcase. I'd like to get a nice pink area rug for their room, too, and a few fake flowers (the real ones couldn't take the neglect ;-) ) to finish it off. There are still things that need to be done in there, like the floor needs to be repainted. The paint we chose that was supposed to be "scuff resistant" looks awful already. Still, I'm glad I didn't put carpet in there! It would be a mess!

Today is floors day. I hope to get all of the bedrooms vaccuumed. I had also hoped to clean the wood floors downstairs, but I don't think I have the energy. Maybe I can get Bo to do it?

I'm having an awful time with 13-year-old Houdin and 9-year-old Monet getting them to do their chores. Could it really be because they're boys???

On the other hand, I'm very thankful for Bard.Thank you, Bard, for keeping up with your chores without being told. I appreciate it more than I can say.
