> Well, despite my brief one-room cleaning success about a month ago, I'm still in the same position as you are now. Of course, now in addition to *my* bathroom fixing issues, my dad has announced he's coming to visit over President's Day weekend, so I have a definite deadline looming as well. I'll be thinking of you as I attempt to do some cleaning/shoveling myself tomorrow!If you answer this post, we'll know you're still not cleaniing. The internet is watching... I guess I shouldn't joke like that just in case we have any paranoid people here.
For many years I lived across the country from my in-laws. Now that we live less than two hours away, I've told her to please not come unannounced. She's told people abput this in a disgusted tone of voice while I was present, but she does adhere to the rule.. I know I am being silly. I tell what a slob I am, but never want her to see it. She is almost clean to a fault. Her house is her pride and joy. I'm comfortable at home, but don't want to spend all my time away from work cooking and cleaning. The last time she was coming, I cleaned like crazy and had it looking good, although I'm sure she could have found fault with dog nose prints on the sliding door, some dust, etc. Well, the next day my father-in-law was coming over to help my husband with some handy man stuff. I didn't know she was coming ,too! The night before, after we had eaten some pies from the freezer,(Shame on me. I didn't make them from scratch!)which turned out bad. (Gee, I can't even manage to heat up things Mrs. Smith made.), after my in-laws left, my husband and I decided to take a walk and let the dishes sit. When we came home we were tired and went to bed. In the morning I had to rush off to doo some volunteer work at my son's school. When I got home my mopther in law was there, and so were our pie plates. One even had a big chunk of pie still sitting on it...So much for trying to fool her.
