The Jitters

We have visitors flying in today. Dax will meet his Grandpa Dan and his Uncle Dalton. I am all sorts of excited about our weekend. I have to leave to the airport soon.

BUT WHY, why do I get all nervous and weird and jittery right before the people actually get here? I always want the house to be perfect and the plans to be made and I also want us all to just go with the flow.

I get all up in arms and bossy too, like there's so much to do. I have no mechanism for stress. Dave told me last night "to not care so much."

And he's right. Why am I such a perfectionist? 

I think it's my mother's fault. She always kept such a nice house.

Oh no. I just realized Dax is going to blame me for all sorts of things.

I'm actually really messy, so I think I like to spend the extra time to appear tidy. Making myself not look like me is draining. But necessary. Being dirty is gross.

oh Trick, you do not look happy.
Don't you want your picture taken?

Hope you all have fun with your company!

And yes, I suppose I am the blame for so much. I love you.

oh that is hilarious that your mom just commented and said she was to blame for a lot. It's just adorable.
However I really know what you mean... I am the same and keeping up with the way I want to be perceived is very taxing on me. I really don't mind a little clutter I do function a lot better when the house is nice and tidy but I am not always up for the work that it takes to maintain it that way daily.
So when company is coming I'm all sorts of frazzled.
Ces't la vie.
