An Hour Early

Yesterday the realtor for our landlord asked if they could show the house today, I agreed.  What am I going to do tell them no?  Let me say this, it is a lot more motivating to clean like a mad man when it is your house that is being sold and not the house you are renting, especially when the house selling means you are quite possibly out on the street.  I don't have it in me to allow someone to come into my home and find it in poor order.  Anyway, they were on schedule for a showing between 11 AM and noon today.  I had everything ready with the exception of a little laundry situation involving three baskets of clean clothes that I have yet to fold and a pile of dirty clothes that needed a basket.  I was in the process of emptying one basket and was actually shirtless getting ready to jump into the shower when there was a knock at the door.  I figured it was the nephews or nieces over to borrow something.  I threw on a shirt and went to the door.  It was the realtor with her client.  "Hi, we're an hour early!  Brett said to just knock on the door and see if you were home..."  Um, thanks Brett.  Well, whatever.  I let them in, decided my room was just going to have to stay like it was, grabbed my smoothie that I had waiting for me to grab when I left for work and I headed next door for 20 minutes or so. 

To all my realtor friends out there, this is not cool.  Seriously, I'm busting my back side to try and make it a good showing for you and then get surprised at my door when you show up an hour early.  Should there not at least be an attempt to call and find out if it is okay?  Two more minutes and I would have been in the shower then what?  She would have opened the door and come on in with her client and I would have been showering away.  Talk about making it awkward for everyone, "And this is the master bedroom and that is his naked butt...".  "Oh sweet, we'll take it!"
