Every time we have company coming my body goes limp the day before. Every time! Even though I love hosting and know God made me to do it, I still get this weird lazy feeling that overpowers all of me the day right before company arrives. Tomorrow however I will jump out of bed and be Mama on a Mission until the second the company arrives. When they pull up I will walk outside and greet my friends and act as though I've been lounging around all day because my house was already perfectly clean of course and that wonderful smell from the kitchen... well I just popped that in the oven while watching the news...........
Today however, I am well,... doing this instead of cleaning the bathrooms. I spent the morning having coffee with some new friends, then two hours in Barnes Noble and another hour looking for Easter Basket stuff for my kids. I was trying not to get candy, so picked out books, then realized what their faces would look like when they just got books so got books and candy.
Now the kids are home and 5pm is no hour to go grocery shopping. So I add grocery shopping to the laundry list of things to do before our friends get here tomorrow.
Right now Gwen is reading " The Lightening Thief"
Claire and Race are on the neighbors trampoline and I really hope the neighbor kids are also still out there because it is embarrassing when I realize the neighbors are eating dinner watching my kids jump on their trampoline.
Kirby is still at work and I would really like some cold ice tea right now which I think I will go make instead of clean bathrooms.
Tomorrow our good friends come and there will be lots of laughing and I will forget how tired I am from all my procrastination and consequently 3 hour cleaning/cooking/shopping frenzy.
