So, since I've been hosting Girl Scout meetings in my house, things haven't gotten as out of hand as they've been in years past. This is kind of awesome and I feel good about it.

However, there still needs to be some movement towards cleaning up, and I have three days left before my annual family party in which to do it.

AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS:

Tuesday, 12/19
Wednesday, 12/20* (needs to be split into 9a-11a and 1p-3:30p; it's also Scout meeting day, so everything needs to wrap by 5:30pm)
Thursday, 12/21

(Weather-depending, I may also have Friday, 12/22. If the weather is nice, we have plans to spend the day in Philly. If it's wretched, DD has an early dismissal, and DH and I have tentative plans to shop for food for our party.)
