clean freaks

my landlords come and do inspections a couple times a year. normally, that wouldn't bother me, except that they want the house CLEAN. i have never been the neatest person in the world. in fact, i don't clean a lot unless i'm tired of it. the one room i try to keep decent is the kitchen. you can't cook or bake with a messy kitchen.
so, when they inform us that they are coming do their inspection, a crazy cleaning spree ensues. the last 2 days have been such.
shaun spent all day yesterday deep cleaning the front room and the kitchen. this morning, i folded clothes, and straightened up the bedrooms and bathrooms. thankfully, i have a fabulous friend who is willing to help with just about everything. from watching kids, to cleaning house. and since we spent yesterday cleaning her house, she spent this morning helping me finish up. she cleaned the bathrooms, the laundry room, the toy room, and finished vaccuming. i folded laundry and took care of the baby.
i'm not going to mop floors. my house is lived in. a family lives here, i'm raising children. a clean immaculate house is NOT my first priority. but, the house is clean, and everything looks nice and neat.

Awesome at getting everything clean. You've seen my house and know that it's never very clean or tidy either. With Joe gone this weekend, I've been trying to get some things a bit more put together, but it's been hit and miss. Oh well... lol
