Thank you all so much for the support and the comfort in knowing that my house does not have to be spotless for a friend. I will invite her over, and I will make sure the toys are at least pushed out of the way.
Where do these preconceived notions come from anyway? Why do I feel this way?
Medusa - you are so right. I realize now that when I go to a house that is immaculate, I feel awkward and worried that my kids will do something to make a mess. I don't anyone to feel that way in my house.
