DEJA VU....ALL OVER AGAIN....

Now I think we have all established that I am nice to a fault. OK with this in mind I might just as well call myself a doormat!!! My friend who stayed with a few people in tow was scheduled to leave town yesterday while I was at work. Well I was all set to have a nice extra quiet evening, do some laundry (because one of the 14 year olds WET THE BED!!!), eat early, cut my son's hair and hit the sheets. Well, I get a phone call from said guest saying that since it was getting too late for their 4 hour trip, would I mind if they crashed again. HELL YEAH, I TOTALLY MIND!!! So of course I told her we didn't mind. I also told her to eat before she got there because we were just having a little leftovers. So she said after they eat she was going to head back to the house. I scrubbed my (peed on) mattress, covered it in plastic and remade all the beds I had just stripped shortly before they called. I was curled up reading a book when they got there. AT 9:30!!! OMG! I was feeling like I was being totally taken advantage of. As much as I love this girl and her husband. I don't think I will be opening myself up to this again!!!

You know, when I stay at other people's houses I go to almost extreme measures to not put people out. I make sure I clean everything that I use including sheets. I make sure (if my kids are with me) the kids are extra good and quiet. They usually are (good and quiet), but I threaten their little lives if they even think of messing up. Not to mention I offer to buy food and cook. And ya know what?!?! I always get offers to come back and spend more time. Amazing how that stuff works. I only do what I want people to do for me.

UNGRATEFUL GUESTS!!!

Oh and P.S. Mel when you decide to c'mon, I'll make spaghetti and all the fixins for ya!!!
