Clean House

If I really want my house cleaned...I invite people over. Its not that my house is usually all that dirty, but its amazing how much cleaning you do when you know others are coming over. We hosted our first small group meeting tonight with friends from our church. We washed windows, cleaned the oven, cleaned the fireplace glass, and even vacuumed out the coat closet. Really... these were just spring cleaning items that we needed to do anyway... but expecting up to 13 people coming to our house, just expedited all of these spring cleaning "to-do" chores. We had a great time tonight, and I am now sitting in my very clean house, and feeling like we really accomplished alot this weekend. I'm sure no one looked in my oven, and I doubt anyone looked at the floor in my coat closet... but I know how clean they are... and that is enough satisfaction for me.
