If it weren't for Venitian Blinds it would be curtains for all of us...

I've been trying desperately to catch up with my household duties.  My son's room is painted, the blinds are up and the closet rods are back up but... My son is in an English program at university and the books are piling up, so I got him four large bookcases, all needing assembly.  I figured today my husband and son are home I'll set them off to put these together so I can finally get him and them out of my living room.  On Monday I started his curtains, but in the mean time figured I'd get the books out of my paper arts room and such.  Well you know when men just don't want to do something.  They couldn't find something to do outside of the house fast enough, both of them.  We've had a major Spring snow storm and yet that was a more pleasant prospect.  Guess what, I didn't do it either.  I'm drop dead tired and I'm on STRIKE.  Do you ever get tired of being the co-ordinator of lives.  I sure am.  And then, we're expecting an election to be called within days, and I've been busy. YIKS! So tomorrow I'm going to have some "hammer time" I've almost finished with restoring the wood on my chair, sanded for 6 hrs. on Tuesday.  Nobody is sitting on this chair.  So I really just want to make curtains that are "short" how short should short curtains be.  You see I have this cat and if the curtains are long as they are in the photo above, the cat hairs are a constant concern.  My window, or should I say the window in my son's room is not this tall, and there is a desk/ or chiar in front.  I'm thinking half the distance between the floor and the window sill.  I also love the giant gromets are they still "in".  O.k. off to turn off tomorrow supper and then some sleep. Maybe.

P.S.  I have to add a little something, After flipping out on Wed. (my painting day, real painting, not walls, and yes I painted them walls myself, with no help, even carried the gallons of paints needed) I hate giving up my painting day, Thursday when I got home those annoying men had the book cases together and in the room,  I guess they wanted their supper.
