Do you ever have a moment that causes you rethink everything? Or maybe one that shames you enough to make a change that you know you need to make?
The other day a friend unexpectedly sent her teenage son over to pick up something. I had about 2.5 seconds notice, with no exaggeration. I had been in the throes of laundry and sewing a cushion cover for a chair that had been spray painted so was sitting in the middle of the living room. Those 2.5 seconds provided me with enough time to push a bra under the coffee table. The rest…well, I guess that poor 17 year old boy got an eyeful of what it’s like living as a single girl with a head full of projects and not enough time to finish cleaning up.
Needless to say, my apartment has never sparkled as much as it is now. It is clean with a capital C.
HA HA HA! I’m sure it wasn’t THAT bad. And if it was, maybe his mom will thank you for his extremely clean room for the rest of his life.
My cousins used to drop by constantly and I actually quite liked it – there’s something comforting about being prepared for surprise visitors!
