So I decided yesterday to host the Easter Celebraton for my family. Granted, it will be just a party of 7, but I am single and don't entertain at all. And the house hasn't been through the "spring cleaning." My mom used to clean the house for WEEKS before inviting anyone over, and here I am with a week, and there's TONS to do. Plus, I have totally forgotten how to cook! YIKES!

Am I crazy?

I guess I will have to feverously clean the house! ! (and yes, cleaning the house will have to count this week! :laugh:

    My mom has this gene too. Thankfully, I didn't inherit it. While I hate living in filth and squalor, working full time with four pets and 2 kids, the house is going to be a mess most of the time. I will clean before guests come, but I don't dust the fan blades and base boards and clean windows. I DO however, notice the dirty fan blades, dusty baseboards, and cobwebby windows of other people's houses... thanks, Mom.

    You're not nuts, but you can make yourself nuts if you're not careful! :)

    I think it's great that you are hosting, and not a better time to serve than on Easter! =) ... I hope all goes well, and don't stress yourself out too much ... if you had a mother that cleaned for weeks before hosting then you're high-risk for hosting stress. lol ... just what you can, keep it simple, and ENJOY yourself too! It's about celebration, not stress so best of wishes to you. :)

    Thanks for all of the support! My dog was hiding under the table all night -- I guess she's never seen me clean before! LOL
