How Clean is my House?

cLast week I got a phone call. The 700 Club was going to be interviewing me!
Well, let me back up a little.
I met a woman who is producer for the 700 Club. She read my book and called to set up an interview. This was last May.
The interview was approved and I have been waiting for a call to set up a time for the taping, and the call came. I waited for them to give me a time and studio for the taping and then I heard the words, "We will be at your house at 9:30 a.m. next Thursday!
At MY house? EEKS!
I think that I keep my house clean. And it looks okay.
But then I started looking at my house through the eyes of a camera lens.
My videos on the shelves were not real neat; the games on the game shelf - well, we played with those and put them back quickly.
The woman on the phone said they would take pictures of me sitting at my desk...Okay, now I have to straighten up my office. It isn't too bad. That's what I thought until I looked at it as the rest of the world would see it. The books shoved on the book shelves; the dust on my desk, the work to be done in baskets on the table. Whew! I am tired already!
What about my hardwood floors in the foyer? Would the footprints show? Should it be more shiny?
My windows? I don't have time to call in a window washer...besides, it is so cold out!
As I walk around my house, the house that felt perfectly comfortable until THAT phone call has become a different place - knowing that I am inviting the whole world into it.
How clean is my house? Let's just say that I thought it was perfect until I look at it through someone else's eyes.
Imagine your house being filmed as it is...can you feel my pain?
