The Sewing Mom

I don’t have any pictures today, but my tackle is to get my house in order for guests arriving from out of town on Thursday. I’m going to post my to do list here so that maybe I will get things accomplished.  Our guest bedroom is by itself upstairs with its own bathroom, so these first 3 items are strictly for the guests.  I can complete those today because they will stay clean and I won’t have to redo them.  Everything else will just have to be redone between now and then, so I won’t do them in as much detail.

1. Put clean sheets on guest bed and make the bed.
2. Dust and vacuum upstairs.
3. Clean upstairs bathroom.
4. Vacuum t.v. room.
5. Sweep floors
6. Clear and clean countes (again!)
7. Dust and vacuum rest of the house (my daughter took care of her room yesterday!)

It’s really not that bad around here.  We’ve had so many guests over the past month that I’ve been keeping up with the cleaning.  You wouldn’t know it looking at my kitchen counter, but that’s where everything collects.  I could clean it this morning and by tonight it would be full again.

I did tell my daughter that if she helps me mow the yard tomorrow, I will take her for a pedicure on Thursday.  She’s been wanting one for weeks, so I think the bribe will work!

Happy Tackling!

I’ll be in and out today and over the next few days..  Please leave comments, I love to hear from you.  I will respond at some point.

My daughter-in-law, her husband and their baby are arriving this evening from California for a visit.  They’ll only be here through the weekend, but I want it to be an enjoyable and relaxing time for all of us, a chance to visit.  I’m getting the house in order, mainly cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming.  Thankfully, most of the house was cleaned this past weekend, so I don’t have too much left to do.

I did go grocery shopping this morning and got some ribs in the crock pot for our dinner tonight.  We’ll eat before we head to the airport to pick them up.  I’m very excited to see them and I know my husband can’t wait for them to arrive.  I have a feeling that the next few days are going to fly by!
