Jul. 11th, 2005 09:47 amMy mom is visiting for a few days.
We did our frantic cleaning yesterday, with a bit of a difference. In the past, frantic cleaning meant working as hard as we could to get the house barely presentable (and not really succeeding).
This time, it was more like "Gee, we're not quite happy with the layout of the living room. Perhaps we should rearrange it."
Not that there wasn't work to be done - I spent about 20 minutes scrubbing Leif's masterpieces off the doors, and quite a bit of time in the loft, which tends to be our toss-everything place and needed massive organization. But really, the loft and the rearrangement were optional. I would have felt comfortable with her dropping in on a half-hour notice, and wouldn't have felt bad if she'd come by unannounced.
