Ice Queen Forever: I couldn't stand it!

As most of you know, I had surgery two weeks ago. I am supposed to be on bed rest, but I am allowed to get up and walk around. I'm not supposed to do housework or vaccum for 3 more weeks. The Doctor said I can go back to work on February 23, 2009. As luck would have it, both Beth and Hal had to work during the two days that all this piled up in the kitchen. Where was Sandford you ask, well he wasn't helping! Well not helping me anyways (sorry Philip). He has "other" people that he must drive around and talk to on the phone for hours at a time. I'm lucky if I can get him to vaccum for me. I usually have to do the vaccuming every other day. When Hal isn't working at Disney, he has been very helpful doing things around the house and doing things for me. Beth says she can't help because she has 3 stitches in her finger. (See blog below) Did I mention that I have a slit from hip to hip? I have no idea how many stitches I have but it is WAY more than three! She says I did it to myself so that's my bad. I am doing my best to not take advantage of Hal's good nature and willingness to jump in whenever there is a need, but he has a job, a life and a fiancee' that is demanding. (just like all the other Skadsem women) So what I'd like to know is (truthfully) if you were in my situation, would you bite the bullet and do it yourself? Sandford and Beth say I'm stubborn and it will get done eventually! I know Chris will take my side on this! I love you Chris! And Hal, you are more appreciated that words can say!
