And That’s….the Truth

Within a couple of weeks I am going to have a house full. My brother and his wife will be arriving from out of town as will my sister in law and her husband. Then after they go home, my cousin from California will be arriving with her family. So for the next month or so, my house is going to be filled up to the rafters. Since they are all arriving home, I really need to start doing some major housecleaning. The house isn’t in that bad of shape, but there are certain areas that have been neglected.

One such area would be the vacuuming. Out of all the jobs in the home that needs to be done I have to say that I dread vacuuming the worst. I’m not a very big person so hauling around a large vacuum cleaner is not my idea of fun. I have decided that I either need to talk Santa into loaning me his elves for a few days or I need to get an Energy Star vacuum cleaner to handle the mess. Since Santa isn’t willing to give up his little helpers, it looks to me like I’m going to need that new Dirt Devil vacuum.

Not only is this type of machine lightweight and portable, but it is also cordless so it makes the chore of vacuuming not so big of a chore as it normally is. And by purchasing an Energy Star vacuum I will also save energy which will save me money. So to get all the cleaning done that needs to be done in the next couple of weeks I can see that I’m going to need a little extra help. And since the elves are all on vacation themselves, it looks like I’m going to need to invest in the vacuum after all.
