Spring Cleaning
|
We are having a rash of visitors for the next month. We love to have company but unfortunately, we would rather skin a live cat than do housework.
So sometimes, it gets pretty bad around here and I just pray that the health department doesn't give us a surprise, random inspection....
This past weekend, we had company from up near St. Louis. A couple of friends came to spend the night and we all went down into Oklahoma to a goat conference. It rained cats and dogs the entire time but we had a pretty good time anyway. The kids and I hustled around last week and had the house in pretty good shape except for the ever present "Laundry Monster" that makes his lair in the back room with the washing machine and dryer.
We are a family of six working on a hog farm. We tend to change clothes a couple of times a day depending on how dirty we get or if we make a trip to town. We do 2-3 loads of wash a day and it just isn't enough..... Sometimes, it just gets too far ahead of me and I fill up the mini van and head for the laundry mat. I am thinking that I will probably have to do that by about Friday at the rate we are going. It doesn't seem to matter how much I clothing I cull through and get rid of, we still have enough to clothe several small countries.
My husband's parents are coming sometime late this week so we will be working hard to keep the house in good shape. They live in South Carolina and will stay only a few days.
The following weekend, my mother will be coming to stay about a week. Her sister and her hubby, my aunt and uncle, will be making the trip with her on their way out to Washington state.
Now that we have it all tidied up around here, my hubby is trying to figure out who we can invite out each weekend for the rest of the year so that we will keep the house cleaned up!
Now that the house is beat back, we need to start on the yards. The middle son has graduated to using the riding lawn mower this year. That is a big step because it is the pre-curser to driving the farm trucks and then the tractor. I am beginning to wonder if I will even plant a garden this year. The bermuda grass and johnson grass are so thick already....
