Good intentions

[Tink]

Dh is home and has had a long tiring week on the road. He got here this morning and has been busy pretty much non stop with small chores like picking up groceries for the truck, finalizing his weekly paperwork and getting it sent out, etc.

Since I have people coming at 9 am to pick up Liy, I have been trying to pick up as he messes... since he's one to leave papers, a shirt, his shoes, and so on laying around while he goes from job to job. So he's got his paperwork spread all over the breakfast nook which is the first thing people see when they walk in... and I promised not to touch it and he promised to put it away. Then he fell asleep. LOL

I know he had the best of intentions... and I understand why he's beat tonight.
But that doesn't help clean up these things that I want done before our guests arrive. It's funny... the cleaner the house is, the more annoying each little thing is that's left out of place. I have to check myself because it makes me hyper critical... and that's not a nice way to be.

So would you keep your word and leave his papers for him to put away in the morning and just hope he gets it done before 9? Or would you gather them up and just make sure to keep it all together?
