Day Off? Hardly

I worked an extra hour tonight so I wasn't home till later in the evening and Monday is my sister--my bride's usual day off at home. Of course, it was a hardly a "day off" for her as she had the boys at home with her and I returned to an house that had been cleaned from top to bottom. Its all part of her brilliant vacation plan. We used to make our vacation plans and then on the last days before going, would leave the house a complete disaster as we concentrated on packing the right things which might mean stuff we didn't want to take was left all over the place.

A couple years ago though, my wife and I decided that before a long trip we would get the house completely clean and have all the laundry done, etc. That way, upon return from vacation, you entered a home clean and fresh with nothing to do. It makes the usually dreadful return from a great relaxing vacation a little more palatable.

Great job sweetie. House looks great and your efforts allowed me to concentrate on getting the yard likewise when I got home. Can't wait to start our vacation in two days!
