(Lame) Excuse: “But No One Will Go in THAT Room . . . “

Crazy day today.

My appliances are being delivered!!!

To say I’m excited is an understatement. I had a hard time sleeping last night.

The delivery was scheduled for 8 a.m. and yesterday was my busiest day of the week.

And I was out of town last week.

And Monday was spent with my family on their day off from school.

And Tuesday I was just trying to get caught up.

(Yes, I know you’re getting a quadruple dose of excuses in this post.)

I decided to be proud of the fact that my house isn’t as bad as it COULD be.  Other than a little dining table clearing, I didn’t do much.

All the areas they would need to see were at least walk-through-able.

And then they asked about the breaker box.

Of course . . . the breaker box.

Duh.

Installing appliances means turning off electricity. Turning off electricity means going to the breaker box.

Going to the breaker box means entering my boys’ room. And looking in their closet.

Oh . . . the shame.

I didn’t say “opening up their closet.”  Y’know . . . since the door won’t even shut right now.

Oh well. My blog is called A Slob Comes Clean. I’d hate to not give them anything to talk about with their wives tonight.

    my dad was an electrician/handyman. Anytime my mom was worried about anyone seeing her house not clean, he comforted her with the stories of houses that he had been in ! lol

      Yes, I’ve heard those stories too, and they’re definitely comforting!

    I’ve been in your shoes, more times than I care to admit – but your attitude is terrific, and those new appliances are soooooo worth that moment you had to endure! Happy for you!

    Woohoo! New appliances!! (We all have “those” places we’d rather no one visit. Mine is the basement. Like the time the plumber had to go down there or the cable guy. (I wanted to be someone else during those moments.)
