Well we have learned this week if you see Odom on your caller id on Tuesday don't answer it (its a talk waiting for you on the other line by the way thank you Mike for not including me appreciate it don't think I could have done it this week!) and if you see the Emmertson's on Sunday afternoon it doesn't matter if you are taking that Sunday afternoon nap they are mighty persistent in checking in and making sure everything is a okay!! Gotta luv em!!
So they dropped by today as we were rising from our afternoon nap with cookies in hand anxiously awaiting for us to welcome them in HOWEVER we had finals all week, Dewayne had to prepare for a talk from answering the phone on tuesday and by the weekend me and Parker being under the weather; lets just say we have gotten little housekeeping done this week to say the least, not to say we havent gotten the clothes washed; they just havent made it to there rooms or been hung up just folded and strug all over the living room!AHHH!! 
So when we heard the doorbell ring I thought please let that be a lost pizza delivery boy, but oh no it wasnt to make matters worse the boys love to sleep in their undies sooo as Dewayne cautiously led them in through our mess all the while warning them that I was going to kill him for letting them in the house! I walked into the boys needing to be dressed and Dewayne in the middle of all of the toys and sitting on a little tykes toddler chair (should've gotten a picture of that) so the brethren could have the only 2 lazy boys that wasnt taken over by laundry!!! AHHH!
So after I finished clothing the boys I quickly began stacking all of the folded and non hung clothes on one side of the couch and covered them with a comforter they all laughed and attempted to comfort me in my time of mortification saying oh its okay I have kids too and the other oh I came from a large family I totally understand the clothes situation. As I laughed and profusly apoligized stating well boys this isn't a large family and I am not a perfect wifey sorry this is probably as bad as it gets!! To make matters worse the boys started sliding down the mountain of clothes like it was a slide saying WEE!! I was just wanting to curl up under the mountain of clothes and go back to sleep WOW! what a day pretty humbling to say the least but I have to say the guys were great and kept asking if there was anything they could do for us I wanted to say yeah a maid but hey I guess we all have days like that or at least I hope yall do too!!

Oh Carly, we all have days like that. Don't even worry about it. Your post reminded me of a couple weeks ago when Ricky came in to get me after Relief Society. I had just finished giving the lesson and he informed that a member of the Stake Presidency was coming by our house after church. Well, the house was a disaster after me neglecting it so I could prepare my lesson. At least I had some warning though. You've never seen us clean so fast. You should've made the Home Teachers help you fold clothes. Just kidding.. Have a great day!
Carly this post made me smile. Like Lynne said, we all have days (sometimes weeks) like that. I would have reacted the same way as you though.
BUT, there is nothing like having your Home teachers come. I never realized the importance of that until Camden Henderson and how faithful and diligent he was! My girls saw hometeaching in action and I will forever be grateful. Loved your post and BTW, Dewayne gave a FABULOUS talk on Sunday.
