I dunno, I just think it's kind of depressing after being away, coming home to a dump. If things are tidy, it shows there's been thought and work (and anticipation) put into your return. You want to be able to come home and not have to do anything for at least a couple hours, but unwind and relax. A favorite cocktail at hand would be good, too. Oh and fluffy towels ready for the shower.
Heck, if I came home and the place was sparkling and my husband said to me, I know you'll be tired tonight so everything is laid out for you to take it easy, and we'll order in, but
tomorrow I have something special planned for you...Of course this is in fantasy-land where work schedules don't play into it and of money is no object!!
But I am scaring myself at how 1950s housewife I sound. I even recommended OATMEAL for breakfast, for god's sake!
