My parents show up today to see NJ for the first time. This can mean only one thing: The majority of the day will be spent cleaning. I already know that the yard needs mowed, beds need prepared, items around the house need picked up, and several errands need run. There are probably several other chores that I am not even aware of that I need to work on as well.
What I can't figure out is how the house degenerates so quickly. It seems that every weekend (and now in the middle of the week), there have been a ton of chores that need done. How is it that two adults and one baby can mess up a house so quickly?
When I go through areas that were cleaned a few short days ago I have to ask whether cleaning was even worth it. The jury is still out on that one.

Dash and the kids seem to appreciate the fact that weekend cleaning goes quicker when we keep it all picked up every night. Having a dishwasher now is helping to make that more doable. But I am not sure if it's worth it either.
I hope you have a lot of fun with your parents. Just think what 4 adults and a baby can do in a week to the house! :) (One of the joy's of having company!)
Mom and Dad have seen my apartment... so you're already ahead!
The vaccuum cleaner that they gave me ended up having a broken belt and other problems, so mom was shocked and appalled to later learn later that I hadn't vaccuumed in four months. I just considered it one of the perks of living alone (I'm hardly ever home anyways!) and knew I'd eventually get a working vaccuum cleaner. "Eventually" came the next time Mom and Dad came to visit. I admit the floor does look better now.
errrm ... NJ isn't really contributing to the mess at this point - so it's not really fair to include him.
I used to think that the big plastic toy phase (age 1-4) was the messiest, however I've changed my mind seeing the effects of Bionicles.
I think the 2nd law of Thermodynamics has something to do with this problem.
I'm amazed that I can dust and within mere moments you cannot tell. Is it wasting energy or is it good hygiene to scrape it up once a week??
