Company is Coming! Quick Clean the House!!!
Hubby D's cousin called Thursday night from Branson and wondered if they could stop by for a brief visit on Saturday on their way home. We hadn't seen them for a very long time. We really wanted to see them.. BUT the house was a disaster. Every time we tried to clean something got in the way like TV, sleep, reading, lack of inspiration. To demonstrate how much we wanted to see them, I told them to come on by. Hubby D doesn't like for anyone to see the house a mess and this time it was way beyond a mess. I informed him of the coming company and after the initial shock and the we can never get the house presentable in that amount of time, he got on it and worked like a demon Friday while I was at school, and then from 8-1 today we both worked like fiends. The house looks quite nice and we are quite tired.
The cousin and her husband came, and we had a great visit. They saw the living/dining room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. D had cleaned his office and library(quite the feat), done the floors all through the house, cleaned the pantry and the kitchen. Our bedroom and the spare bedroom are cleaned. My bathroom is cleaned. We did all of this and then didn't even offer to show them the rest of the house. We have lived here going on 10 years, and this is the first time they have been here. Don't get me wrong. Having the house clean is a great relief. It has needed it for so long but we did all of that and didn't even show it off or brag about it.
So I am here to brag. Our house looks nice. I even have some Christmas decorations out. Now Hubby D won't have to ignore knocks on the door so that he won't have to maybe ask someone in. Oh how CC lives on in his son's essence!!!
Our plan is to keep it this way from now on. Anyone want to guess how many times we have made a plan like this over the past 35 years? Ah, but this time we are going to do it!!! ;) Trust me. If you don't have a dream, how ya gonna make a dream come true?
I went out and got us Arby's for lunch/supper and we are now relaxing in our clean abode. Life is good. Since the good house keeping fairy didn't show up to clean our house, I am hoping that the good paper grading fairy will show up tomorrow!!! Dreamin' again!!!!!
