We found out a few weeks ago that some of my family were coming in from out of town to stay for a week, and the house was a disaster!
So, with this knowledge in hand, I begin cleaning with a venegence.
We moved into our home in October of last year, but because we had to do so much renovation to just move in, we hadn't done much since we've lived here. Boxes still lined the walls, half painted walls, an unfinished kitchen with granite countertops waiting to be installed, the downstairs 1/2 bath completely undone, let alone all the clutter that is left in the wake of 3 children amongst many other odds and ends.
A week of cleaning, and I finally managed to get it all done enough to be able to accept company. Granted, the granite countertops are leaning against a wall and the 1/2 bath are still undone, but it was as clean as it was going to get with the time that we had to get it ready.
To top off the busyness, we had our son's 7th birthday that Friday (The day they arrive), and had a birthday party for a friend that Saturday.
