Uh-Oh!

I was having a lazy day today, you know, in my pajamas until noon, not doing too much, mostly surfing the Internet, when I decided I really should dress and go to the grocery, mail and the seamstress, who was fixing a pair of corduroy jeans, that I had split! (OK, I know. I really need to concentrate for more than 1 week on my diet!)

So, I got going around 12:15 and did all of the errands, and arrived home in time to get lunch ready for Hubby.

I’d planned the rest of my day. I was going to catch up with a little laundry, and probably read some.

That’s when Hubby remarked that we were going to be having company. Sometime over the next few days!

Company!!! Oh no!!! Not when my “Dust Bunnies” were in the process of multiplying! And the dust! I do not even want to go there! Let’s just say, the dust was so thick you could easily write your last will and testament legibly!

I knew I could not clean everything at once so I divided it up. I washed the slip covers to the sofa, vacuumed and dusted every surface in the family room and kitchen, and started important laundry!

I know, if they come before Monday, I am screwed. I just cannot get it all done. I’m afraid it will have to be love me for myself, not for my ability to clean house. Meanwhile, I am prioritizing. Tomorrow I am washing up the guest room and guest room bath.

In my own defense I must say that I have a huge house well over 2400 sq. feet! I also have four dogs and a husband, and none of them really help out with the house work. I do love my house, but I don’t like cleaning it. My next home will have a lot of closets and basement storage, and be a whole lot smaller upstairs!

  1. These are friends, coming to see you, not your house or dust, right? So, clean the bathroom, guest room and foodprep surfaces. Nurff said. They want to be able to enjoy the company of a funny, wonderful friend, not an exhausted hausfrau. So, do what absolutely has to be done and save energy to enjioy your guests. Love you

  2. Yikes! Good Luck with the cleaning. I did some last night until 10 PM as our friends are coming today, can’t wait to have a visit with Kevin and Sue. We can talk wedding plans as Julie gets married in June after Jin’s in April. Fun for a change. 🙂 Love YOU, Mel

  3. Please don’t clean if one day I am visiting you, because I have never written a testament in dust ! How exciting,lol !
    I only clean the guest room, and the rest is how it is, guests are not controlers from the Hygenic Service ! Enjoy your guests and clean after them, that’s more logical !
