It’s not quite a hotel we’ve got here; it’s more of a bed and breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.
My brother’s family left on Saturday. It was about 11:30 by the time they packed everything up and pulled out, and started on the long drive to Arizona.
Robin and her kids arrived at about 3:00.
NO, we didn’t get the whole house cleaned up, but I did manage to wash and change the sheets in the “guestroom” and get that whole room cleaned and vacuumed. And we got all the dishes done and some of the other bedrooms cleaned up. For some reason I had about 25 towels to wash, and they’ve now been washed, but are not folded. But you get what you pay for here, people.
On the bright side, it’s kind of nice to be a vacation destination. That way we get to see friends and family and we don’t have to do all that annoying driving to get there. And I’d rather hang out at my house than hang out at their houses in Arizona, except maybe in the winter.
Today we’re doing a little parent swap. Robin’s going to watch my kids and her kids, and I’m going to go and watch my sister’s kids. My sister’s 8 kids. I’ll let you know how that goes.
Eight kids! You’re a braver woman than I.
You must really have the gift of hospitality to be able to accomodate all those guests! I’m sure you’ll have a marvelous time.
I am right there with you. I am in a panic because I am behind on my “get the house ready for a million guest” cleaning. I have a feeling they are going going to have to put their own sheets on their beds.
