He’s my pick up man…

Remember that room I was telling you about? The guestroom from HELL!

Okay, so B and I created that hell and we kept adding to the coffers by putting more and more shit in there. And, it’s less than two weeks until my parents get here. He knew the task at hand and, ladies, let me tell you, he kicked cleaning ass.

Now, we all know about my back. Anyone who doesn’t simply look for all posts tagged “Pain” and proceed from there. And, yesterday was a bad back day. REALLY bad. To the point that hips, legs and knees were all on strike. We both started out looking at what the room had become and wondering where to start. And then I had to sit.

But, B. Oh, wonderful, fabulous, glad-that-I-get-to-smooch-you-whenever-I-want B kept cleaning. He got all of the junk out and took it to the dumpster. Moved not one but two set of shelves. One being the set that we keep all of my cookware, kitchen necessities on. Set up the television and got the cable working on it (it’s a really old, finicky set that will be crotchety if not loved when set up for cable).

And, then…the best part.

He VACUUMED!!!!!

*swoon*

Anyone who knows me and has spoken to me about housekeeping, I hate vacuuming. With a passion. I hate the vibrations that go through your body when you turn the machine on. When something that shouldn’t be on floor gets sucked up in the canister (mostly because I didn’t want to bend over and pick it up) and then you have to get said item out of the canister. (Because I was too damn lazy to pick it up off the floor and now I have to get my hands fucking dirty in dry dusty shit that makes me sneeze and this a really long run on sentence.)

Of course, I made sure my husband was well rewarded for his valiant efforts for taking on the fight against clutter and dirt. Oh yes, rewarded indeed. I let him sleep in.
