No, not the kids out on the lawn, although I appreciate the suggestions on what to do about them! *G* One of my stepsons lives with us, and he has a long distance girlfriend. She is on a trip, and since she was going to pass through this area, she made arrangements to stay with us. At first, we expected her late on Tuesday night, and then it was going to be Wednesday morning. So, I decided to go to bed and do the dishes in the morning before she arrived.
Well, you got it. She came in at 2:00 in the morning. It just doesn't pay to let the dishes go. We have one of those houses where the kitchen, and the great room, and a breakfast room are all part of an open plan, so it always feels that if the kitchen is a mess, so are the other rooms. I spent some time cleaning up this morning, so that when she wakes up, it will look a lot better.
Dear Husband teases me about cleaning the house before the cleaning lady comes. I don't think I will ever be sufficiently blasé enough to forget that I WAS the cleaning lady not too long ago.

I wouldn't get too concerned about a few dirty dishes in the sink...it makes the place look lived in (hey, I'm male). Actually, I really don't like to see dirty dishes pile up either, but sometimes the energy is just not there to wash up pronto.
I'm sure your stepson's GF didn't even see them arriving at 2AM.
Any more visits from the teens on the front lawn yet? Remember to scare the crap outta 'em!

T....I was saving up all day, waiting to get back on-line! Too bad it wasn't anything earth shattering! *G* I'll be happy to send the cleaning lady your way. Maybe you can get more work out of her than I do.
Dr.D.....some dishes now and then aren't gonna hurt anyone, but the first time you meet a son's girlfriend, you'd like to be like Caesar's wife....above reproach. She's a nice woman. I don't think the dishes bothered her.
I'll have to do some shopping for that mask so I can go visitor scaring! MMmmwwwwwwwhhaaaaaaahahah
