This is something I'm going to work on the next few weeks. I love coming home to a clean house, but I just have been too busy working on my classroom. Now that that's done, I can focus on the house and start school with everything in order. Fingers crossed.

I go through spurts of keeping a really clean house and periods of laziness. Right now it's laziness. It's not gross, but not as clean as I want it to be.

Maybe late at night, after the kids go to bed and I've had the chance to tidy up a bit. But as soon as they wake, it's like the tasmanian devil has gone through the house.

We always wait to clean on the weekend and then it takes forever. Maybe I'll do a deep clean this weekend and then start that next week. :) Wigglesj on "If a friend or family made an unexpected visit and wanted to sleepover, would your house be clean?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-a-friend-or-family-made-an-unexpected-visit-and-wanted-to-sleepover-would-your-house-be-clean#post-237881 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:26:06 +0000 Wigglesj 237881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Absolutely not.

Our house always has clutter. It's clean, but we are always doing laundry so there would be stacks of folded clothes in the living room, paperwork and mail on the kitchen table, etc. CupQuakeWalk on "If a friend or family made an unexpected visit and wanted to sleepover, would your house be clean?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-a-friend-or-family-made-an-unexpected-visit-and-wanted-to-sleepover-would-your-house-be-clean#post-237255 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:48:04 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 237255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I always have the house clean but I have it all "hotel-like" when guests come....fold my towels better,light a candle....

I have a 140 pound newfoundland dog, a cat, a baby, and a husband who likes to leave his work stuff lying around. I can get it to spotless given a couple hours notice though (to vacuum, steam mop, and spot clean walls). sandy on "If a friend or family made an unexpected visit and wanted to sleepover, would your house be clean?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-a-friend-or-family-made-an-unexpected-visit-and-wanted-to-sleepover-would-your-house-be-clean#post-237230 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:58:49 +0000 sandy 237230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Like @Rubies: our house is clean but the bathrooms could probably use some extra attention - I hate cleaning bathrooms the most Freckles on "If a friend or family made an unexpected visit and wanted to sleepover, would your house be clean?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-a-friend-or-family-made-an-unexpected-visit-and-wanted-to-sleepover-would-your-house-be-clean#post-237228 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:57:49 +0000 Freckles 237228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The house is pretty clean, though there are days when it could use a bit of organizing. We rarely have much clutter, so it's always easy to do some quick cleaning before guests come over. DH made a mistake and thought a friend of ours was coming a week later than what she told him. When i got the email the morning of that she was coming that night, i frantically cleaned and organized as best i could while 30 weeks preggo. :T Mrs. Pen on "If a friend or family made an unexpected visit and wanted to sleepover, would your house be clean?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-a-friend-or-family-made-an-unexpected-visit-and-wanted-to-sleepover-would-your-house-be-clean#post-237216 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:51:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 237216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope.
