So the in-laws are coming to visit this weekend. Even though they live less than 3 hours south of the city they have been to Chicago exactly 2 other times the 8 years I've been with Jacob. They aren't big fans of the city ;) Other than trying to figure out how to entertain them this weekend I have to do the mad house scrub. Every time people come to visit I run around cleaning like crazy but I know the MIL will have an even more critical eye. She already thinks I don't cook for her baby boy (I do cook but she only hears about all the restaurants we go to). I cannot have her thinking I can't keep a clean house either! Our place isn't so much dirty as it is messy and cluttered. For example, we don't have a laundry room, only a laundry closet so our clean clothes are overflowing in a basket in the hallway. Problem is I'm a bit lazy when it comes to cleaning and am sidetracked easily. Like I just found a Criminal Minds marathon on A&E kind of sidetracked. This is going to take me all day... Luckily, I work from home and have a 1/2 day today. I would rather be doing my long run but scrubbing the bathroom is a workout right?
Hope you all have a cleaning free, fun weekend!

I cleaned my house like a mad woman this week b/c we had an overnight guest last night. Cleaning/tidying definitely takes a backseat to training... and sleep/tv/etc.
Hope you have a good visit with the IL's!
Have fun with the in-laws! I always felt like I needed to be perfect around my MiL too. Something about MiLs... they just make you feel that way!
Only 2 visits in 8 years?? Will you please send some of that IL repellent my way? My ILs live in NC and are here almost every freaking month.
I totally understand the cleaning ADD.
I love criminal minds!!!! Hope it's a great weekend....
Scrubbing toilets is an awesome workout but a run would be oh so much better! :) Hope you had a great weekend with the fam!!
I'll come visit you :) I want to come to Chicago soon, and I won't even make you clean!
