Perhaps this belongs in the Sunday confessional but... the house was looking good on Saturday for my daughter's birthday party. Then, I remembered we need to put cushions on the chairs that go to our school table so we dragged them in to get upholstered. (Seats only, thankfully). And it rained so the kids and all their friends were inside. Then husband sat on the couch and broke it. So the living room is a construction zone of clamps and glue and screws while he tries to fix it. Did I mention there well be 22 people here for Thanksgiving - in 4 days? Aiiieee! Well.
