[Insert welcome mat image here]

I'm just too lazy to actually whip up a welcome mat image to place here instead of a title. Actually, if I'm being more accurate to the digital age, I'm too lazy tonight to actually Google an image of a welcome mat as well. So there you go. Now you know the reason for the title. Blah, blah, blah. On we go with the actual subject matter.

So keeping busy is key here, folks. When you are desperately attempting to keep a decent distance from your ever present husband in your matchbox-one-story-open-floor-planned house (seriously, I really do love him.), you need only one word. Busy. You keep busy. Keeping your mind busy won't work of course. Idle hands won't cut it in this scenario. So I've been keeping as busy as I can over the last weeks...or has it been months? I've lost count. Today I decided that I needed to clean out the laundry room and give it a new purpose. Over the years it has many uses. Heck. It's even had many potential uses. An exercise room was the last potential use it had. Never happened of course due to unforseen complications (this could also partially fit somewhere under my 'lazy' category). So now, the ol' laundry room has a new purpose. Guest room! And before you jump to my antisocial-like conclusions. Yes. I have had guests sleep in my house in the past. Often? No. Not at all. But the point is, it has happened. Where do these poor individuals end up sleeping? On my couch and on the living room floor. What is that lacking? Privacy. And who doesn't despise the ever-present host? So I cleaned it up, shifted around the objects and now I have just enough room to squeeze an air mattress. Okay, okay. A small air mattress. Fine! A small and possibly uncomfortable air mattress. Sheesh. But nevertheless! It is not in the open of the living room and can be blocked off if need be for said guest(s). I took a picture. See?

Ain't it purty? The kids are pretty cute too. So if you're family or friends and need a place to stay, I'm sure you'll try another local family member or friend first. But when they say no then you're welcome in my newly quasi-remodeled guest room. Any takers?
