My mom is coming to visit in two weeks because my sister is getting married. Why does the thought of your mother visiting turn you into an insecure teenager again. I guess you are never too old to want your mother to be proud of you.
That means I will spend the next two weeks cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. Not that she cares, my mother could care less if my house is clean, but I care.
The carpets have taken a beating so I’ll have to steam clean everything. The spare bedroom will need to be cleaned and it looks like I’ll have to scrub the grout in the bathroom.
I’ve started making a list and it’s growing by the minute.
It’s not really just for my mom, there will be lots of people in and out of my house for the wedding. I’m sure we will all congregate here at least once during the wedding preparation time.
All those dishes I never use will need to be washed, all the serving platters and fancy things I only use when I have company.
Not to mention my towels are looking a little ratty so I’ll need some new ones.
My house is generally clean but I don’t think your house is ever clean enough for a visit from mom. Since we live 2,000 miles apart she usually only visits every two years. This year I’m going back to visit family the week after my mother is here.
I just added cleaning the windows to my list. I’m already tired. Why do I do this to myself? I wish I was the type of housekeeper who’s house was always company ready.
Since I don’t think that will ever happen it looks like I’ll be cleaning for the next two weeks.
