I am not a big fan of cleaning. My husband and I do what we must to keep the house respectable. I would much rather ride my bike, read, do projects to get ready for the coming school year or hang out on the water. Today I will clean and love every minute of it. Our son and his partner are coming home for a week. I can’t wait.
Now the cleaning has a purpose. I will ready their room and make it as clutter and dust free as possible. Their bathroom will get an extra scrub and hopefully a bit more sparkle.
Since the weather has cooled down, the kitchen will be next while I make granola and cookies knowing they both will love the homemade touches. I will cut flowers, fill the refrigerator, and declutter the mudroom.
When the children come home…there is a little domesticity that finds its way back into my world. I reminisce about when they were young while I prepare for their return. It feels good…right…very familiar.
Enjoy cleaning for your son and his partner. Have a wonderful visit with them too!

Is this the new site for posting? I'll have to re-enlist!
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad that they weren't coming LAST week?! It was so hot, who could clean anything?
Today is going to be a good cleaning day...which I also should take advantage of. I just won't have quite the "joy of cleaning" you will! Enjoy your time with your son.
Posting happens every Tuesday all year and then everyday in March. I have been very lax and decided to go at it again.
ReplyDeleteThe baking is done...now to the cleaning.
I love your energy for this task, you have purpose behind your preparations. Reminds me how students have energy for tasks that have purpose. Enjoy your family!
ReplyDeleteAnticipation for something is just wonderful, and you have showed us how much you're looking forward to your family coming home by all the things you're doing to prepare. I hope your visit is lovely!
