We are busy getting our home ready for the holiday. We are hosting a BBQ for the family, and boy what a task! First there is cleaning. Now this is no ordinary cleaning job. We had one room that was the storage of all junk, boxes, nick knacks, and oddities that was a nightmare to look in. I have been meaning to clean this room for a couple of years, yes that awful, but with no parties at our house, the motivation just wasn't there to do it. But when my husband told the family reunion committee they could have there meeting at our house,we had two weeks to get done what took years to make. Of course, we didn't actually use all 2 weeks to clean, no, no, we did it in 4 days! But wow, does it look nice now. So after that monster room, there was still two living rooms, three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, one kitchen and a bunch of stairs to clean. Whew!
Now it is the day of, and we did all the food shopping this morning, I cleaned the other rooms this morning too, and low and behold, there is a flash flood warning for the county and neighboring counties. Was this all in vain? Will no one compliment me on my beautifully cleaned house? I was just fine with it the way it was! Alas, the committee is still coming, the food is in the oven instead of the grill, and I can entertain all summer now that the house is in order. What a way to spring clean, pressure can be a great thing sometimes. Have a great holiday people!
