Oh my word!!! I have company coming this weekend and they will be sleeping in my sons room who has a double bed. I have been nagging him for a week to get it clean and well, we all know how 11 yr olds clean their rooms most of the time.

The thing is, I know he is perfectly capable of doing a really good job because he has before. Well, I just went in to do it and I am charging him $20.00 . I carried out 2 kitchen garbage bags of GARBAGE! Plus 2 kitchen garbage bags for the DI.

He has always been a pack rat and loves to keep things because he might use it someday. I will usually go in and deep clean every few months and the last time was around Christmas I think. I can't remember.

I just can not believe all the crap in there! It almost makes me feel like a bad mom for even allowing it to get to that point!

Anyway, Now I am exhausted! I did Seth's room too but his room was just sorting clothes and putting them away.

I love it when company comes because it gives me a reason to deep clean the house when I usually just let that stuff go. There are so many other things to do that it starts to add up and when you are tired or depressed etc... it's really easy to ignore.

So.. That is my morning in a nut shell. It took over 2 hours to do Jake's room. I think 10 bucks an hour is a fair price for house cleaning. Don't you?
