Mom Cleaning

I have been busy from last night...

picking up stuff from the crevices of sofa, re organizing my kitchen shelves, folding and putting away clothes that were washed and dried 3.5 days ago...piling V's toys into his bag and keeping them inside the cupboard, checking the fridge for all the sauces that expired eons ago, throwing off the mayo from last year( eeeeks!), scrubbing of water marks from the top tiles in bathroom..restocking my groceries and supplies.

No..it's not spring cleaning.
Mom is coming to stay for three weeks...

Maybe i should stop fretting so much. She will anyway do it all over again!

i read somewhere that meeting the 'momma clean' standard is still possible;
but 'grandma clean' -- omg, omg, omg.

and yay!! that V is going away to be grandparents. he should be doing guest posts from 'on location'.

hey I thought ppl took this kind of effort, when it was their mils visiting them:), good for you, mom visiting and then V goes back with her for vacation?Even better:), but I wonder how long you will last without him:), we complain when they are around and we also complain when they are not, both for different reasons:)

Hmmm..at my in laws house, I am permanently picking up stuff and organizing the house. So there..

This is the second year V is going for his vacations..it's tough for us, but what's a vacation if you cannot get out of your parents sight and indulge a little bit? We got to do it..so will he.
