Another Saturday Night

OMG, I;m in such a mess. DD came home from Maine at New Years and decided I was totally worthless and started stripping the wallpaper in my bedroom. I had to make her stop long enough to move most of the furniture out. So here it is, 2 weeks later, I can';t get to my underwear without reenacting that scene from that movie. I can't find anything, there;s wall paper shreds and pieces all over the carpet,'

the paper is down, and I spent literally the last 12 hours scrubbing the walls with substitute TSP, scrapping, scrubbing, scrubbing with steel wool, rinsing. up and down the step ladder. I'm almost done, but these walls are really nasty. I've done the best I can, but I don't think I got all the wallpaper gunk off. Also, I think they must have used a scim coat of plaster under the paper, and some of that has been scratched Of course we tore the actual paper of the underlying sheet rock, too. I knew I'd have to spackle, but I'm thinking this is beyond my skill level.
dayum.

dsis and her dh are coming Tuesday; I've got to get the house put back together before they get here. I know I won't be able to find a painter, if I had the money to pay him, before Tuesday.

so, I could just say f-it and paint over the crap, but it would look disgusting. I can't have that, so, I'll probably just clean up the construction crap and let them sleep in here with raw walls. I hate not to finish such a big project--who the heck knows when I'll get back to it, and now I HAVE to look at this crap for weeks!!!

Oh, and remember DD the little angle who started this whole fiasco?

She's out driving my car, with my Tom Tom and my digital camera. But she did clean the rest of the house today, so she really has helped.

I wanted to cry, so I blogged. blogging is better.
