Nesting Wrap Up

One of the last things we had to do was get the carpets cleaned. See, the mental giant who built our house decided that white carpet was a great idea. White carpet does not go well with everyday life and certainly not when you have two dogs and two cats. Two dogs and two cats who defile the carpet quite often with vomit, pee and hairballs. Gee, that makes our house sound so appealing. Don’t you all just want to come over and stay for a while? Anyway, we definitely plan to replace the carpet in the not too distant future, but right now it’s not in the budget. Until it is, carpet cleaning a few times a year is definitely in the budget. And since we are having guests tomorrow it seemed the perfect time. So right now, it’s very noisy in the house but it will all be worth it in about an hour or so, when they leave and we remember what our carpets look like clean.

I only wish that I had arranged to have the housekeeper come again this week. Actually since they don’t do laundry, it wouldn’t really help. I just need someone to put away all my friggin’ clothes. Maybe I should just throw them all out and start over. That seems easier than trying to wash, dry, fold, hang up and put away doesn’t it?

I also need to get under the sink in my bathroom and organize that cabinet. It’s crazy under there with travel bags, sample sizes, tampons boxes in various sizes, nail polish in various colors and assorted first aid items. It’s literally overflowing under there and it drives me crazy whenever I need to get something from under there or I need a place to stash something. That could be a task for tomorrow morning. After that, though, there’s just not a whole lot left to do other than basic stuff. We’ll vacuum a few times while people are around, and I do need to do a quick mop of the hardwoods downstairs thanks to some rain on Tuesday which led to muddy dog prints.

And now we are ready for Curtainrod to arrive. Because babies can’t arrive until all cabinets are organized and carpets are clean. Maybe THAT is why the baby won’t drop!
