Pre-Holiday Whole-House Clean: 2017 Edition
So, since I've been hosting Girl Scout meetings in my house, things haven't gotten as out of hand as they've been in years past. This is kind of awesome and I feel good about it.
However, there still needs to be some movement towards cleaning up, and I have three days left before my annual family party in which to do it.
AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS:
Tuesday, 12/19
Wednesday, 12/20* (needs to be split into 9a-11a and 1p-3:30p; it's also Scout meeting day, so everything needs to wrap by 5:30pm)
Thursday, 12/21
(Weather-depending, I may also have Friday, 12/22. If the weather is nice, we have plans to spend the day in Philly. If it's wretched, DD has an early dismissal, and DH and I have tentative plans to shop for food for our party.)
