Oh my, the house is in much need of cleaning. I am not sure how it happened or what exactly I was doing or not doing when it happened, but, the house needs help! Have you ever had that moment were you walk from room to room and in every room there is a mess!  There is not a room I can escape to, not a room I could hide in to avoid the mess. Except maybe the laundry room – but only because of the lack of laundry I have been doing!

So tonight I am psyching myself up for a clean day, mainly because we have relatives coming in town this weekend that will want to come bye. And did I mention it is bad, not good, really dirty. I am the kind of person, that when there is a big mess I have to clean. I have to get myself all psyched up for it. I plan in my head which room I will start in. I think about how nice it will look when I am done. I warn the kids that all their stuff must be returned to their rooms or it will be gone tomorrow, because I am cleaning in the morning ( I think they are on to me  because their stuff really never disappears). So tonight I will go to bed planning to clean, planning to do laundry, planning to go through the piles. And hopefully in the morning it will go that way, you know how sometimes you wake up and you just don’t “feel” it.

So here is to a clean house.  Maybe one day I will be the women who’s house is always ready for company, but not today.
