Tips for when you have unexpected guests

Since becoming a mom I have noticed that I don't really get dressed for the day until after Z has had his midmorning / lunch time feed. This puts me in an awkward position when people drop by unannounced. So I have devised a plan for when this happens. If for some reason you have about 2 min to get ready for you visiter (like you saw them walking down the block from the window, or maybe they give you a phone call "hey I am coming over I will be there any minuet") This is what I do:

• Run to my room and change out of my PJ bottoms 
• I wipe the spit up off my PJ top (I wear PJ tops that look nice so I can just change the pants in a pinch)
• sprtiz on some perfume (to hid the sour milk smell) 
• Throw my hair into quick pig tails
• splash some water on my face
• a quick brush of my teeth

Then I answer the door. If you are like me and have a messy house as well I grab a broom and make it look like I was starting to clean before they arrived unexpectedly, or if Z is crying I just take a broom out and leave it so it looks like Z interrupted my cleaning.  Also if I have and extra second I spray some cleaner on the mat by the front door so my house kinda smells cleanish. If however I have no warning and some one rings the door bell they get me just how I am: messy hair, PJ's and spit up. 

Another trick I have is when you have a baby and people know it you can take a bit of time before you answer the door so if I can I really try to change my pants so it doesn't look like I have been lounging all day (not that I am).
