I like to have people over a lot. I guess maybe it stems from never being allowed to have people over growing up. Most weeks, you can find me entertaining during the days.
Now I will say that I am no June Cleaver. I keep my house fairly clean, as clean as I can manage anyways. But I definitely do not keep it sparkling. But it got me thinking about people coming over to a clean house.
When I haven't gotten to the dishes, or the trash hasn't been taken out why is it that I automatically apologize to my guests about it? All I have done is live in my house, so what if I didn't get to ALL of the dishes? Why should I apologize for having a house that's well lived in? I dunno.
What I do know is that social interaction and fellowship with others is high on my list of priorities and I'll be darned if I let a load of laundry stand in the way of it. So, if you happen to come over when my house is a little less than sparkling I hope it's okay and that you won't let it reflect poorly on me as a person.

I have never thought any less of you..and I have seen your house in many stages of disarray. I'm glad social interaction is high priority...it means I get to see you!!
Way to be not the perfect housewife! Cheers!
Amen! love it!
Two things: one, don't worry about being June Cleaver. Maybe in 18 years, when the kids are all grown and you have all that spare time.
Two, you apologizing about your house for some reason reminded me of what I recently told you about women and clothes. You know, when one woman compliments another on some new piece of clothing and the first response is always, without fail, "Oh, this thing? I got it on sale at [clothing store of your choice]"
wow, I do that too! I am never appologzing again!!!
