It all depends on who is coming over how clean my house needs to be. I'm not very picky. My DH is a slob. He sets stuff everywhere. It drives me nuts. I cleaned off the mess on the kitchen table on Wednesday. He uses one end as a desk. (not sure why as we have 5 empty bedrooms.) I was going to bake cookies with the grandkids last night. He had it covered with junk again.
