Weekend Challenge: Tackling Domestic Challenges

[thatwasjustadream]

Am hoping K & H won't mind, but I didn't see a weekend challenge so thought I would jump in. This week: getting down to household brass tacks. Yeah, it's all wonderful for your fictional darlings to be out there saving the world on the daily, solving crimes, or wreaking villainous havoc - but sooner or later they're going to have to whip the homestead into shape.

Let me know you're in, and I'll give you a domestic chore or crisis or whew-not-a-crisis-after-all that either myself or people around me have been tackling lately. Let's see if they inspire some words!

PS - I might take a bit to reply - I've got to work on the basement before the heating systems guy gets here ....

OOOOH. This could prove to be fun. Hit me with something good!

I hope it leads to some minor mayhem! :) Let me know if you'd like others, though.....

Chore: Sorting paperwork and paying bills — and/or cleaning out the junk drawer
Crisis: Having to take the entire dish washer apart to clean it or repair it.

Well, maybe the second one isn't a crisis...but it's feeling like one to me, lol.

That second one's only a crisis when you come home from the grocery store to find Zayne on the floor of the kitchen with bits and pieces of dishwasher all over your clean tile. HAH.

You made it better! Or worse? The ill-advised, ad hoc decision to tackle it yourself, lol. Yeah.

With Zayne, it could go either way! Seriously though, my dad was a mechanic and believed he could fix anything. Spoiler alert: he could not. LOL
