I finally broke down and hired a house cleaner this week and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. My house is the cleanest it has been since before I moved in and she did in 3 hours what it would have taken me well over 8 hours to do. Even better she cleaned my house for me before my parents show up today. I actually had to dirty it up a little bit because it was too clean.
This will be my parents 4th trip to Colorado to visit me in the 2.5 years I have lived here. It is getting harder and harder every time to entertain them. They don’t bicycle, ski, hike, or want to go out to clubs and they have already seen pretty much all of the tourist things there are to do in Colorado Springs. I always enjoy when they come out as I only see them 3 or 4 times a year, but trying to get ready for them can be stressful.
The bad thing about my parents coming out is I will not make it to the ski slopes this weekend. Always a great time and I will now be going 3 weeks without skiing. Last weekend the roads were too bad for the drive. I just need to get a condo out there.
Finally, I am really getting tired of my neighbors throwing parties ever weekend for the last 3 weekends. Fortunately they are quiet but all of the opening and slamming of car doors is really annoying. Somebody needs to figure out how to make car doors quieter.

Well I hope that you/they have a good time this weekend.
Maybe next time you could go to their house and visit them instead of them coming to you. Is there more stuff that you could all do together where they live? And I think drunk drunk people need to learn how to close a car door quieter! haha
