What your overnight guests won't tell you.

Are you having overnight guests for the holidays?

If you are you need to read this.  

Because you can be sure your overnight guests will be too nice to tell you the truth.

Okay so first on the list is that

bed in the guest bedroom.

You know how in the morning your sleepy eyed guest comes out of their guest room seeking coffee?

And you ask them did you sleep well.   They of course say 

"Oh yes .... it was great!"  

They are probably lying.  

Because that bed that they slept on came from Johnny's room or Susie's room or even worse somebodies friend of somebodies cousin gave it to you.   

It was probably their trampoline when you weren't looking.

I mean the reason that bed is in the guest bedroom is because NO ONE else wanted it right?????

When is the last time you have slept on that bed?

Does it resemble this?

You know what I mean

Too Soft.....Too Saggy.....Big dip in the middle.....

   Is is like sleeping on concrete?  Does it creak every time you move?

The thing is if you want your guests to be comfortable be a nice host 

and do something about that bed.  

If you can't afford a new mattress at least get a good mattress cover.  

I think memory foam is the best and it should be at least two inches thick.

And really PLEASE get rid of those FLAT pillows.....

you know the ones that are like petrified pancakes 

or worse yet Pillows (and I use that term loosely here)

that are lumpy like they are stuffed with old socks or something....and FLAT......and well there is really no other way to put it.......

STINKY!!

Also about those sheets........

You are sleeping on Egyptian Cotton 1000 thread count right  

( Okay so I might be exaggerating....but you get the point )

So why is it your guest is sleeping on sheets that feel like burlap?????

PLEASE DON'T put any sheets on your guests bed that have less than a 350 thread count.

Okay so to recap.......

Mattress Pad, pillows, and sheets. 

(Do something about it)

Now lets get back to stinky........

About those pets........

You love your Cat...

You love your Dog.....

You love them so much.....

you are IMMUNE to their odors.

Seriously.....your pet stinks.  

So do your guests a favor.

Give them a bath.   Wash their bedding.   Empty out the cats litter box.   Vacuum your furniture.

I mean NO ONE likes the smell of OLD WET DOG.....and I hate to tell you but if you have pets......your house 

SMELLS.  

I have two dogs and a cat.....trust me.....I know my house gets stinky.   

So a few days before I have twenty plus guests..... my little wiener dogs are getting a makeover

and that cat....well....at least her litter box is in the garage. 

YUCK!!!!

Okay so bathe the pets, wash their bedding, vacuum the furniture and empty out that litter box.

So check back tomorrow........YEP there are more things your overnight guests won't tell you.....

But I will......because I like you.....I really like you!!
