One day done. One party thrown.
Our house is officially cleaner than it has ever been since we moved in as the backwards philosophy of cleaning before a party, just to then have to clean again after it, was again dictated by this house's winning voice.
Woohoo for vacuums and mops and places I didn't ever imagine would need to be cleaned.
I still don't get it.
Someone please explain it to me.
The real question should be less about why it needs to be cleaned before people come over (though, this may serve as an answer in itself) so it can be cleaned again and more about why have we allowed the mess to get that bad at all.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it may come down to the fact that I am a woman and I don't want to have people, who have never been to my house before, see my home dirty and a disheveled...I want people to see the best side of it, not the worst. Sinful as this may sound, generally speaking, we care what people think. This is why we will also look in our closets for longer than the 2 seconds it takes you to pull out that t-shirt. On some level every woman wants to be seen as put together and with the ability to "successfully" manage the daily operations of a home. And so, we clean the house (and maybe reorganize a thing or five).
Now you may say, "It can get worse," and you would be correct. Be that as it may, the chances of me hosting a party of any kind and not cleaning or "prettying up" the house is just not going to happen. Welcome to marriage, and welcome to living with a female.
I understand that you don't understand and I appreciate your help anyway. So thank you for helping me clean this weekend (yes it was so bad it actually took multiple days) and I look forward to your help again.
Love You! :)
