So my MIL is coming in tonight from California. She will be staying with us, and my FIL is coming on Thursday. They have been living bi-coastal for the past few years, 1/2 year here, the other 1/2 in Dana Point, CA. But they sold their NY home in January, and while they plan on buying a smaller place here, they have not really been able to look much. So, now they are coming, and planning to do the real estate thing and find a house here.
Fortunately, we have a guest room for them, but I'm not sure how comfortable they will be...or how comfortable I will be for that matter. They spent a week with us in January, and an unexpected week in February (the week the evil stomach virus hit any person who dared enter our home!), and then my MIL came to help us out when our sitter was on vacation for a week in March, and let me tell you...the house gets all sorts of crowded when they are here. The TV goes to volumes I didn't know were possible, and the mess...oh the mess! I am a bit of a clean freak, and I feel like I lose control of my key clean area...the kitchen. I clean up every night after my sitter and the kids...maybe I have OCD? Is it normal to walk into the house and just start putting things away without even realizing you are doing it? Normal routine for me: walk into house, pick up shoes by door and put them in shoerack; put coffee thermos into kitchen sink, hang up cordless phone that desperately needs to be charged; put all loose pens in pen drawer; load the dishwasher; wash coffee pot and get it ready for the morning; make Sammy's lunch for camp; clean counters, sweep floor... getting the picture?
Anyhoo...this should all make for a fun week in hazy, hot and humid NY! Thank goodness for CAC! (central air conditioning for those of you not in the real estate acronym know ;-)
