Sounds like you're almost there in getting things set up for the summer at the beach house and not doing too badly giving your regular house a once over. I'm all in favor of shutting doors when at all possible to help with the "clean up". And as you know, your son and his friends won't really notice or care if some things are out of order or dusty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they guys would care but one is a female and that changes the dynamics. If guest 4 decides to come she is female also so I am mainly cleaning for the female/s.
DeletePlus it is a good time to get rid of a lot of excess "stuff" i have accumulated over the years.
I sure hope they appreciate all your hard work. Hopefully they won't mess it up and you can enjoy the beach house the rest of the summer without too much additional work
ReplyDeleteAppreciation? I think only the gal friend will appreciate it so I mainly am doing this for her. Son3 knows he will incur the Wrath of Anne if he leaves it a mess, but I am planning on going down for the weekend after they leave to at least bring home any foods left in the fridge. I
DeleteI loved how you are satisfied with "cleaner" rather than "clean". My kind of gal.....lolz
ReplyDeleteI pick my battles carefully!
DeleteFriend F is coming to adjust my antenna. He knows my house is far from clean, but it does not smell...lol. My standards must necessarily be low. His house is immaculate, and he does all his own housework.
ReplyDeleteI got tired and overwhelmed just reading this. You have put me to shame.
ReplyDeleteMy butt is tired! I am going to need a recovery vacation!
DeleteI know it was a generalization, but most college age guys notice very little about their immediate surroundings except for the fun factor
ReplyDeleteAnd cleaning and cleaning and cleaning. Yup, I know that dance.
ReplyDeleteI hate housework and I especially hate double housework
