Well, the landlord called last night. Seems he has someone that may be moving into these townhouses, and he wanted to show them one. Well, he asked if he could show ours since we're cleaner than most anyone who lives here. As Kevin told me this, I looked around the house and got very depressed. It is always so messy toward the end of the week.
I asked where he wanted to start, tonight, and he said, "I'll do the downstairs because..." (as he looked around our bedroom)..."this room scares the shit out of me!" OK, that makes the upstairs mine. I started on our room, including the closet, since they'll likely look in there. The dust had taken over, and I could have grown crops on my desk and stereo.
After our room, I tackled the girls' room. ICK. I had to empty dressers of all unfolded clothes, and sort out some stuff that never gets worn. Made a lot of room. There is makeup all over the carpet in there. Great. I'm out of carpet cleaner, too. I hope he was serious when we moved in and he said, "I'm not replacing the carpet in the bedrooms yet, I'll do that when you move out." All of the carpet downstairs and on the stairs (which was brand new when we moved in) is clean and in good repair.
I have to go do the bathroom, then I'm done. I'm tired and I want to go to bed, and tomorrow, I get to let strangers into my house and let them poke around my stuff. I hate that. We've been doing it to that poor lady we're buying the house from, so now I feel even more sorry for her.
Good night all. Tomorrow I can give my little buddy a bath after our ride. He likes to drink from the hose. I think I may try heading down the road with him. If you never hear from me again, it means that wild boy ran out in front of a truck or something!

Boo Loves to drink out of the hose as well... And, if I am giving him a bath with soap I have to keep an eye on him cause he will grab the hose (at our barn it hangs down over the washrack) and play with it.. I think trying to make the water come out <LOL>

Yeah , I guess it does just feel odd having a stranger walking around in your rooms and all that.. I can understand..
:)
Wow! Just reading all that made me tired! You need a relaxing weekend very, very soon. You'll make it. Russ
I've been showing my house for weeks now. I hate people going through my stuff! I have to get the house to look like no one lives in here! I cringe when I think they will open my drawers (that is where I throw everything!).
Could not have really been too bad or you would still be doing it! Glad he helped!!
My Precious loves drinking out of a hose!
