Boy, today was the wrong day to sleep in. Here it is, 6 o'clock a.m. and I'm already behind. The Kids are coming up early to beat the heat and Candy will be here about 11. The good thing about back-to-back company is that the dusting I did yesterday for Arden's visit hasn't yet lost its luster, so I can scratch that off the To-Do List today. Arden, at my invitation, has started bringing a load of laundry over on Fridays. It saves her a trip into town to the laundromat, and it's washed, dried, and folded while we talk and watch TV.
When we lived down in the valley, I always had back-to-back company on the weekends. I was working two jobs, and it simplified my life. Steve thrived on having guests, so it made him a happy camper. After we moved to the hills, people would come up and spend three or four days. By that time I was working at home. I could get the transcription done before everyone else got up, so I had time to enjoy our company as well. I was certainly more disciplined in those days. Now I run around like Chicken Little, yelling that "the sky is falling!"
Unless I want to get caught with my bibbies down, I've got to walk Michael, feed the critters, and swish a sponge around in the kitchen. Today I'm channeling the White Rabbit, "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date." Gotta go....

Hope it all went well and you got swished and clipped and companied! I, too, find that my organizational skills and motivation take a back seat to lots of lollygagging!
