Company only arrives when the house is at its worst

Do you mean that visitors always arrive when you are not well prepared for their arrival, and their phone calls are not at the correct time either? It really bothers. But I think it can only explained as coincidence. Maybe a little psychological factor too. Always unhappiness can be amplified by our mind, you may feel it happens everyday but it only has happened a few times in fact.

I was just discussing this with my boyfriend. We both don't like it when people just drop by without calling first. I too will have my house spotless for a long period of time but these unexcepted guest will walk in as if a tornado has just touched down. What is that all about? I, first of all would never go to someone house uninvited. I think its very rude to do this. I don't understand why people think its ok to do this. As for my phone it always has a habit of ringing when I'm just about to sit down to eat. Why is that? I wish I knew. I have stopped answering the phone completely while eating. I will call back later if its important.

i think its just a coincidence.

The easiest solution is to keep it spotless 24/7! Either that or move to an isolated locatoin that noone in their right mind would want to drive to.. Oorrrr. More time-specific friends! Busy? Mute your phone? Asleep? Unplug your phone line, then! I personally wouldn't mind people popping over whenever for the most part.. but there are just soommme days it's nice to not have to deal with anyone!

Fortunately, I do not usually have too much company arriving at my house, and I prefer it this way. I don't mind having a few friends drop by on occasion, but I do not want people hanging around all the time. Most of the time, I would rather be here alone just relaxing with my puppy dogs.

Our rule in the house is to keep the living room area clean. It's hard to enforce that at times with the kids because bring out toys during most of the day. I really don't have many people come over by surprise. I used to a few years ago but things have changed so I don't mind. I always leave the house pretty much clean if I go out so when I come back I won't have to clean and at night the same thing goes. So whether you catch me walking in the door or in the early morning it should meet inspection.

I don't mind unexpected visitors, especially if I haven't seen and talked to them in a long time. Having people visit me are always pleasant surprises and makes me feel loved. I guess it's also because there are people who fixes the house for me, and I don't mind people seeing the house in disarray. It's a reality that houses do get untidy. And it's not like the untidiness is unhygienic. It's just mostly the stuff we normally use (like the sofa and throw pillow) are everywhere. Throw pillows on the floor, the mattresses of the sofas are on the floor, the coffee table is swept on the side to make room for the sofa mattresses on the floor. Trinkets on the coffee table are on the floor or on another (crowded) table to make room for the laptops. Pieces of paper are strewn on the floor because we were working on something. Stuff like that. but I and my guests don't mind the mess. Of course when they arrive, I have to put back the sofa mattresses because the wooden frame is hard on the butt.
