Getting Nowhere Fast

Jim is traveling this week, which should leave plenty of time for me to work on the house. Or so it would seem. Jake's room and the upstairs hallway, stairwell, and the living room has been touched up from the repairs. All of this was done before Jim left with him painting the stairwell and upstairs hallway. So, why can't I get any further??? Seems that I start doing something, get called away and never get back to the task at hand. My parents are visiting this weekend, so I at least have to have a path made. I will be glad when all of this is over, if it ever is. I am to the point now, that if something is in my way and I don't know what it is or can't find a place to put it, it goes in the garbage. Hope nobody is missing anything important. I suppose if it was important, they wouldn't leave it lying around, would they? NO, not my husband and kids. They alway put away their things. Wonder whose leaving all this stuff around?
