It is day 3 of MIL's 14 day visit. We get along fine, it's just that after 3 days we've done the whole "how's SIL? how are your parents" conversation. Today we went to the museum, this afternoon since 5pm I have done:
oiled one deck chair
cleaned out the fountain
scrubbed the top patio step in between coats on the chair (have 2 more levels to go)
put up stakes and temporary plastic mesh fencing to keep the dog out of the new grassed area
refolded the towels in the linen closet.
I fully admit I'm kind of a lazy person. After doing the fencing for the dog, I probably would have come inside and done nothing until dinner. Today, I did the above, as if I came inside, what would I say to her? DH was taking care of dinner, so I didn't have to prep.
I wonder how much of my to-do list will get done while she's here? Maybe I need her to visit for 2 weeks every year to get me off my tushie and get some things done.
