Sunny 9 for 2004 December 16

I am pretty tired today. I spent all day yesterday and today cleaning and getting our house ready for visitors. Josh, Jenni, and Caden (Aaron's brother, his wife, and son) are staying with us for Jake's wedding. They come in tomorrow, but Rick and Sherry (father and mother-in-law) and staying with us tonight. I am pretty happy to have them. Sometimes, it just exhausts me to keep everything spick and span all the time. I try to keep up on the big things like laundry and keeping the kitchen clean. It is just annoying that you have everything really nice and clean (I'm talking chemical clean, not just tidy up clean) but then yourself or others go and undo all your work within a couple days. I didn't even get to pulling all the dead flowers out of the bed in front of our house with Aaron. They look pretty bad. Mainly, I just love how things are when they are deep cleaned, but I wish it could stay that way longer or even better, forever.
