Yesterday was cleaning day. I put the girls to work and they got a lot done, for some reason, no complaining! Since they were so willing, I just kept giving them stuff to do. How's that for reward? Finally I set them free. Megan took off and Sammy had some friends here. I kept going. By the end of the day the entire house was dusted, swiffered, vacuumed and polished. The entire house got done! Yay for a small house! A clean house just makes me feel warm and cozy inside.Last night I was out front and I noticed that our big palm tree looks really bad. Dying bad. I called Nate out to take a look and a couple of guys from the Elders Quorum are driving by so they stopped and we invited them in. They were commenting on the yard and such, (for Arizona, we have a lot of vegetation in our yard) and we had a good couple minutes inside chatting. Nate walked them out and when he came back in I was telling him how nice it is to have unexpected company when the house is so clean. He smiled and told me that they probably noticed that yard coming in and the yard going out. I know that, but inside I feel good:)

Love it, so funny!! Sometimes I feel like the only time I clean is because I'm going to have company. I know the feeling to have it all done just to be done.
way to go getting it done! that is awesome. and whoohoo for the girls helping. that is RAD! i wish my kids would do what i asked. they casually take off to hide when i start cleaning. OR ignore what i ask them to do. but if Lance is there they help.
knowing men they didn't notice how clean your house is. they don't do the cleaning and don't appreciate the wonder. i bet they assume your house is always spotless! how great is that?
i've been maintaining more. and it's so nice to only have to do a quickie pick up rather than complete overhaul every time someone is coming over.
Funny how when you work your butt off no one notices.....but if you forget something, everyone notices!
