Motherhood Extended

I started the day with great motivation. House was all picked up, so I decided to move furniture, work on slip cover for couch, get ready for company this weekend. I ended up making a huge mess, 5 loads of laundry on my bed folded but not put up, stack of magazines gone through, pages to keep torn out but in a pile on the floor, contents of cabinet that was buffet in dining room but now in living room for tv on dining room table, sewing machine and slip cover material out. DH comes home "Mr Y is dropping by in 10 min. for a drink." Mr. Y was here in exactly 10 min. He brought drinks and food. (he has dropped by " been invited " before) I have no problem, Mr. Y is very nice, always brings food and drink with him, however Mr. Y and his wife have grown children and even when their children were small their house is truly the cleanest most organized house I have ever been in. Mr. Y is here for about 90 min when Mandrake yells "Mom, Basil just threw up all over" I don't think anyone has ever left my house so quick.
