Sunday - Sunday - Sunday!
Sunday.What a wonderful day.
A day with the family.
A day to hang around. Go nowhere. Stay in jammies 'til noon.
Fun!
Ugh - the phone rings. The conversation between hubby and caller goes somewhat like this...
"Excellent!".
"When?".
"No problem. See you then.".
I asked him who it was, and he said friends were on their way over to see the house. Now.
I yelled up to the kids to get their rooms spotless and pronto!
Hubby took care of the downstairs, I went up to help make the beds, as Joe-Joe and Jon-Jon try, but they haven't perfected that just yet. But they picked up their rooms mighty fast.
I realized I was still in my pj's/sweats. Ran to get a bra on, it was the least I could do, and grabbed the vacuum on the way up. As I was finishing up, I noticed them at the bottom of the stairs.
Geez - could they have not heard the vacuum and admired my new laundry room / mud room / entrance way / office on their way in? And how 'bout the $2500 washer and dryer - now that takes some admiring. But seems they were none too impressed, and just wanted to see the upstairs.
So, hubby gave them the 10 cent tour, and they were here for a whole total of 20 minutes.
They liked it. They were especially impressed by hubby's freehand artwork on the kids walls. Which, hey, it is impressive. But what about my new washer and dryer? They noticed that on the way out - to which the wife wanted to go shop for a new pair as soon as they left.
Anyway - they were gone.
Phew - can I get back to my Sunday now?
Maybe it will teach us that we shouldn't answer the phone on Sunday! Now there is an idea!
