Only for you
Category: Relations

Every once in six months or so the house needs to be thoroughly cleaned. The bathrooms need to sparkle. Everything that can be dusted must be dusted. Everything that can be de-cluttered, should be. Non-academic books must be safely stowed away, and the real textbooks are lying around the house.

Television and computer time goes down, meals are taken at precise hours. We’re up when the sun rises and in bed before twelve.

Every once in six months or so, we turn into hypocrites. For peace.

We’ll try not to laugh out loud or nap in the afternoon. We’ll spend more time “talking” instead. We’ll care about the plants outside, about that dusty shelf inside. We’ll be our best and do what we can to ease your stress.

Every once in six months or so, we’ll show you that we really do care.

I kind of wish my family was like that, but I’m the only one who cleans in my house. I clean a lot too… but I don’t really mind it all that much. I would rather be scrubbing the tub than be at this boring job right now.

I think I get this cleaning side to me from my grandmother, only she is probably worse. haha

Sometimes I clean for company, but it always depends on the company. If it is family that is laid back I just tidy up becasue I know they will make it a dump again in an hour. :)

It reminds me of myself whenever my dad tells me there are people coming over, even if it are realtors who don’t give a crap what someone’s clothes, accessories, and furnitures look like. I always have to clean, clean, clean just to please them. @-@;;

Yes, everything should be cleaned :] And yes, like skye said, it does show you care. I think I should clean my room too, even tho nobody’s going to come :] Anyway, hope everything goes well ;)

Reminds me a bit everytime my parents come by that I would clean every little thing I can… though definitely not to the degree you do it. Though I’m not sure what you’re exactly doing it for, I’ll leave it at that.

Its interesting how people are willing to change while someone is visiting, sometimes so drastically. But it does show you care *hugs* Since youll be on your time instead of mine (haha), we’ll just have to email instead. :-) Hope all goes well *hugs*
