Charlyn’s Web

I spent over an hour vacuuming today.

If you walked in and looked around at my litter strewn, trackless carpet- you would say “Girlfriend you lied on your blog!”

To which I would burst into an out of tune version of “It’s My Blog and I’ll lie if I want to, lie if I want to!”

But to be honest,  I haven’t lied to you….yet.

I vacuumed the walls, blinds, ceiling, and window sills in the living room, hall and “Grandma and Grandpa’s room” (the guest room).  I sucked up lots of spiders and webs.

KJ asked “Are Grandma and Grandpa H coming?”  No, I said.  Harrumph.  One would think I only cleaned when people come over.

But what I didn’t tell her was that the OTHER Gramma and Grampa might be coming… soon.  Chanting through my brain, to keep me motivated- “the in-laws are coming! The In-Laws are Coming!”

They are going to walk in here and see the thinned down Big Tall Guy and think “She doesn’t feed Our Little Boy!” (He’s been on a diet and has NOT been happy when I fix good food.  Honest!)

They will see the brown, oh so brown children and say “She doesn’t put sun screen on the Precious Little Ones!”   (I do, sometimes, but especially HP will tan if he walks by a window, honest!)

But they will not see spider webs, at least in the living room.

OK- to be real- my In-Laws are great people and they would not think those things.  But it does provide great motivation!

The in-laws are coming!  The In-laws are Coming!  THE IN-LAWS ARE  COMING!

Yea!
