This sounds like many days at my house. It is a wonder we get anything done.

Looks like a very productive day! How did it end? Are you ready for your company tomorrow? If all else fails, run around with a laundry basket and throw everything that's not where it should be in the basket, and stuff the basket in your closet until after the company leaves. :)

Well I vacuumed the whole house and then MOPPED. This NEVER happens. When I told Mr. Ashley I was going to do the floors he said, "With what, a mop? Wow"

After that I was pretty tired though, so Mr. Ashley is going to pick the twins up and I'll have until tomorrow...and then I can blame the mess on them.

Hmmm...sounds very similar to a day In the Trenches! I always feel like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off!
