Barb -- I feel your pain!! However, my hubby knows better than to do that to me unless he's prepared to 1) do all the cooking as well as the cleaning up; or 2) take everyone out to eat 3 times a day :D When I get unexpected (and undesired) company, I tend to have something to do that will take me out of the house ALL day (a class, a pre-planned girl's day out, etc.) that you can claim you told hubby about last month :twisted: :twisted:
