We are in the throes of practicing our basic domestic survival skills, as our vacuum cleaner died right before Christmas, and dishwasher died on Christmas Day. What are the chances?
I have learned that a family of seven makes a lot of dirty dishes, enough that the counter can be completely covered between official meals. Fortunately, most of the children have had a good attitude about pitching in. Usually one child has dish duty at dinner time, but they have each been taking a turn and doing a fourth of the dinner dishes--there are so many! New dishwasher is due first thing Saturday morning.
As for the floors, the Composer is v. handy with a broom. And our new vacuum came by UPS today. Tomorrow we will be clean again.
OH NO! I had a dream the night before Christmas Eve that my vaccum cleaner and dishwasher died. It was my first year hosting Christmas for the family at my house and I was devestated. Fortunatly everything went off without a hitch!
