Idea: weekly maid service
That was the text message I sent to Jay during lunch yesterday. I don’t know how it came up, but once it entered my brain, it became clear to me that I would outsource anything to do with chemical cleaning agents. Not only will I be saving myself from the most unpleasant household chores, but I will also be helping my local economy. Genius!
This decision has, of course, drawn the ire of my mom, the cleanest person in the world (hi mom!) who thinks it is a total waste of money. Apparently a good Polish lady doesn’t need someone to clean the house for her. Anyway, I invited her to come take a shower in my tub or walk barefoot on my kitchen floor, because it is G.R.O.S.S. in here, even despite the fact (or maybe because) we have no kids or pets and we are hardly eve home. I would post a picture but we are trying to sell this place and I don’t want any documentation of my terrible housekeeping skills. It cleans up well, though, I swear.
