thanks guys...btw I cheated and bribed some little girls in the neighborhood at a mere 3 bucks each including my own two girls to do some maintinence for me yesterday. A blitz plan is a great idea provided he doesnt come home at some wierd hour of the night/morning. We talked though and he told me he loved my cooking but he was really really in the mood for some waffle house too and could we go out to eat there sometime shortly after he gets back, so I just said why dont we go right when you get back then and he seemed VERY happy with that. Im sure hes shaking his head that I was all for it beccause he tread very carefully not to offend me. Little does he know its really more of rescuing me and it takes the pressure off. I can cook him his fav chicken dish the next night when there is no pressure and we can just enjoy each other.I dont like waffle house but he loves it. He is wierd like that and Im not so picky I cant live with it every once and again. I am going to make a big push today towards perfection and hopefully it will be easy to apply a blitz fix to it. I also considered if at least my bedroom looks nice I can just wisk him off there in such a hurry maybe he wont even notice we have a house. I mean it has been weeks!lol
