Have your in laws call and tell you they are coming for the weekend.

Living Room CHECK

Kitchen CHECK

Bathroom CHECK

Boy's Room Almost CHECK So far I have gotten one bag of yard sale stuff and two bags fo broken toys!!!! I'm taking a break right now and getting ready to go back in there! Next is my craft area! I have been slowly working on that area for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully tonight I will get a big chunk done!

The only room left will be our bedroom. It was cleaned last night, but after today it needs it again.

I'm so proud of you!
Sorry that you had to be in a hurry to get things in order though.

The whole idea of having the house decluttered is so that when situations come up like this you are scrambling to get things done.

Hope you have a nice visit!!!

It's just what I needed! I don't think I would have gotten this far without them calling. They did call to say they won't be here tonight as planned but early in the morning. So I still have some time.

[b]ugh....it never ends!!!!!!!!! The craft area looks great, but the rest of the house has had 4 little tornados hit it! My neice is here and ugh...I wanna give up! Ray is trying to help clean up again after I had it clean once, but it's getting late.

I'll get as much done as I can and that'll be enough! My family is coming over to have quality time with us. Not to come here and talk about our mess

Oh! By the way....my SIL called a couple of hours ago to say they weren't coming over after all. At least I had a head start on cleaning for my family dinner tomorrow!
