WWYD in this situation?
A friend is in town that you only see once or twice a year. You invite her and her H (who is friends with your H) over on a weekend night at 8:00 so that they will be there after you put the kids in bed. You are tired and have a whole kitchen to clean up.
What do you do?
Do you say 'screw it' to the kitchen and hang out with friend anyhow, ignoring your exhaustion?
Do you clean the kitchen while friend watches and make sure she knows how tired you are so that you can escape to bed early?
Do you call to cancel the gathering?
Something else?
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: WWYD in this situation?
The kitchen and exhaustion will be there tomorrow, the friend may not.
Screw it, hang out with your friend and just get an extra shot of espresso in your coffee in the am!
Screw the kitchen, grab a cup of coffee is you're really that tired, hang with friend and go to bed early the next night.
Forget the kitchen. Do a quick sweep though just so you don't attract any bugs and let it sit. It'll still be there tomorrow.
Ignore the exhaustion. Down some coffee or Mountain Dew or something.
Enjoy your friends for the evening and tomorrow go to bed when you put your kids to bed.

Let the kitchen sit until tomorrow morning. This is where H's infamous "sit and soak" solution would be invoked. Put some water and suds in the sink with the dishes and insist that they're soaking so the stuff on them loosens up.
Coffee is essential. And enjoy the time with your friend.
I realized that I forgot to tell you what really happened.
My friend chose option B. Oh, yes. I watched her do dishes. We hung out for maybe 45 minutes and then she went up to bed. It made me feel like I was unwelcome, though I was invited and that I shouldn't have been there. I spent more time hanging out with her husband (post bedtime) than with her.
It was very sad.
Have fun with your friend, screw the kitchen and the exhaustion. Make some coffee if you're tired.
That's crappy! If I was going to do the dishes I would at the very least make sure I stayed up long enough to still get in some visiting time.
