Company coming.....

Okay, so I'm having a house full of company.  Days of out of town guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Days of people taking showers, using towels, walking in and out through the grass, on the floors.  Preparing for the visit, I have bathrooms to clean, shopping to do, preparations to make.  The morning before, 4 hours before all the company is to arrive, I am cooking, vacuuming, dusting......what does he choose to do this morning?......Help? .......vacuum for me?  Clean a toilet?
He decides to clean the foyer closet.....taking EVERYTHING out and making piles, dust is flying, gloves are being paired......it's September!!  Is this necessary right now with all I have to do?  I walk into the foyer and am trying to understand why he chose to do this at this time (the closet has been a mess for years)!  Now, instead of helping me, he is making more of mess!!  I am trying to keep my temper under control.  I guess it is apparent in my glowing, frustrated, tired eyes.......why this?  He is dumbfounded.  He is incredulous.  He is "helping" in his opinion!  He is cleaning!!  I can't deal with it, so I just tell him to be sure EVERYTHING is put away and cleaned up and I go back to chopping onions, washing pots, setting the table.  As I run around, going from room to room, making sure things look okay and everyone will feel welcome, I walk back to the foyer.  He is gone, the closet is clean....but, the floor is covered with pieces of string that came off scarves, with dust.  Foot prints take the dust from the closet to the back of the foyer, continuing on the carpet of the den and out the sliding door to the patio.  Now, I am so beyond aggravated and frustrated.  Onions browning, I run up to the kitchen and turn them off.  I have to sweep the foyer and vacuum the den, once again.  Why?  As I vacuum, I look out back and there he is, napping on the lounge chairs, IPod headphones in his ears.......sound asleep.  Should I scream at him?  Bop him on the foot?
I could shake him, have a battle, but, instead, I shut the vacuum and "release my anger with writing........

I know if I wake him he'll just say he's tired from cleaning, from "helping", which is what he did in his opinion.  He'll just think I am being ungrateful, he'll get angry and then be crabby when the guests arrive.  I don't want him crabby........so, I will go back down and finish sautéing my onions.

Company will be here soon...........smile?!
