oh, the weather outside is frightful
3 days before we take off for Kansas City and Laura is in her usual pre-trip "ohmygodthiswholehouseisamessitneedstobecleanedtoptobottomorIwon'tcomehome" panic. This means she alternates between full-bore cleaning mode to oh, what's the use it'll never get done.
We do this every time. I admit, it takes a good bit of patience on my part. I do what I'm told, stay busy when she is, and when she bounces the other way I jolly her out of it and keep on working. It makes the week before we go anywhere, ah, hectic, but I will admit that we come home to a clean slate.
Up until the clean-a-thon began I've been mostly working on cars, stuff that Laura's been saving up for me. I guess I left the last of Bahrain behind me Saturday when it rained all. day. long. (The last thing I fixed was the windshield wipers). AND - they're predicting snow for Saturday in Kansas City.
Things are back to normal.

Gee, do you guys hire yourself out? My house is a disaster and my car could use new windshield wipers....
the bob and laura show is still in it's first run, there isn't a road show yet.
oh, and I did windshield wipers this week too.
A white Christmas. Perfect.
I always like to come home to a clean house, too.
clean house? what is that? how do you pronounce it? kleeeen? huh--owse?
yuh. as if.
OK, I do that same freak out before we travel -- except I never clean anything. I just freak out that I should....
Laura's head would explode if she visited my home. Glad things are back to normal! Have a happy holiday!
De - I kinda hope it snows and sticks too, I just hope my snow & ice driving skills are appropriately reawakened.
liv - it's pronounced pain in the ass.
jodi - getting ready for these trips would be SO much easier if it were confined to the freak out and not the actual willy-nilly that ensues.
Lee! - uh, she doesn't care about other people's homes, just ours.
hoppy halidays to you too.
