Rebecca, I will be working with you. I, too have stripped the kids beds and have the sheets in the washer. Today I need to do general maintenance of living room and entryway, including vaccuuming, dusting and mopping. I need to unload my dishwasher and clean the kitchen. Also need to get into ds room. I cleaned it out really well a couple months back and he maintained it really well for quite a while, but I need to do a big clean up again. He is only 6, so if he can maintain it for 2 months and I only need to help out every couple months I sure won't complain. Also need to work on laundry, a couple loads of clothes, and will do blanket loads if time permits. Well, talk to you later! Kris
