HONEY-DO LIST

Things have been pretty hectic around Casa D'Alessandro lately—between my husband's work, my deadline, our trip to New York, then copyedits for me and another business trip for my husband, this past weekend has been our first opportunity to catch up on household stuff that needed doing.  And by "household stuff" I mean stuff my husband needs to do.

This is a job for Superman!

Like hanging up the new dining room chandelier that's been sitting in a box in the garage for almost two months.  And the new living room ceiling fixture that's been sitting right next to the dining room one.  The living room fixture went up without too much trouble.  The dining room light, however, has proven a real problem.  As I'm typing this at midnight Sunday night, my DH and son are STILL in the dining room working on it.  I hear a lot of grunting and cussing.  I decide to remain in the office until someone said, "we're done!"  Based on the groaning and cussing, it's going to be a while.

"Where do all these %^&*$ wires go?"

Also on the honey-do list is the hanging of two mirrors and bringing a crapload of empty boxes and other assorted trash to the recycle center.  My list of stuff is all about organizing the garage and storage room and catching up on laundry which has somehow managed to get away from me (who's wearing all these clothes??).

Seriously--WHO is wearing all these clothes??

Hmmm…the boys in the dining room are now not only groaning and cussing, they're saying something about "that nut isn't supposed to be there."  Oh, boy.  That doesn't sound promising.

 What household chores do you have that need doing?  Any you can delegate?  What's your least favorite thing to do around the house? (Mine is laundry–ugh, it never ends!).
