Today I am very grateful that some of my great friends are coming to visit and spend the night. We adore them so much we are having a dinner party. WTF I am supposed to be watching basketball today!? I hate to cook and clean! I get nervous nervous anxious anxious! I am a terrible hostess...

Oh wait. This is the new me. My friend loves basketball and she will probably make sure I can keep an eye on these games because she is kind. My H washed the kitchen floor to instill his Pinesol philosophy into the mix without being asked (if it smells like pine - it is clean). He went and bought a ham. My DS helped me a lot yesterday and had a spring cleaned bedroom at the end of the day. First window washed! I still ran with my running buddy yesterday and I am about to hit the gym to work out my anxiety. So I did not sacrifice my Codie self totally to this project. Things aren't perfect, but my house is pretty darn clean! This morning I cleaned the kitchen and my H took one of my chores off my list. I do like the shine. I realized I like my wine glasses shiny. No reason they can't shine even if they hardly get used!

So I have a shortened To Do List so I WILL NOT freak out. But this looks so nice I might have to keep working on clutter killing and spring cleaning in the next few weeks!

Good for you, CodeJob! We have started some cleaning around here also and I'm with your friend on the "smelling clean" thing! I used some lemon verbena-scented cleaner to do the floors and I can't believe the difference it made in how I feel.

You're on a roll--you go!
