We are hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year, again, with my family. I'm looking forward to being with my family and just hanging out. I'm not to stressed out about cooking, just cleaning. My sister and her family will come over the night before and she will help me cook.
I'm glad it will be a short work week! Work has been all consuming lately so this holiday will be a welcome break. I am looking into some other opportunities that will provide me with more of a work/life balance, hopefully (although it will mean a cut in salary). I've enjoyed recruiting, but if I continue at this stress level, I will never get pregnant.
Anyways, there's nothing like expecting company to motivate you to clean your house. Between working crazy hours and having Abbey on the weekends, who has time to clean?? With my family coming for Thanksgiving and Steve's family in town for Christmas, our house should be spic and span (initially).

Oh how I LOVE cleanning! Chris and I keep teasing ourselves that we're so busy cleaning up after the kids constantly that when they're out of the house we won't know what to do with all of our extra time. It would be a dream come true to have a spin and span house, but I have to live with simply keeping the underwear off of the living room floor and other odditities I never thought imaginable until I had children!
Our house will never be spic and span, and we don't even have kids!! I hope I didn't set high expectations b/c I'd hate for you guys to come over and find out we are total slobs!
Several weeks ago our Home Teacher dropped by annanounced. I was at a parents teacher conference or I would have made him visit on the porch. Andrew had thrown down all of his dirty laundry that moring...we have a bad habit of throwing it over the balcony and gathering it from the floor to be moved into the laundry room. Well that day the laundry never made it to the laundry room...it was covering the entire entry way. The dished hadn't been washed. The floor hadn't been swept in 5+ days (scary when you have 2 toddlers!) and the clean laudry was in volunimous piles on my dining room table. I am mortified everytime I see him. I now vow to keep all of the front rooms semi-presentable, just don't go snooping around the upstairs or basement! I'm sure nothing would ever surprise me! :-)
