Hired Help

I write tonight with anticipation greater than a kid before Christmas. In just twelve short hours, there will be someone else cleaning my house. This is like a dream. I am LIVING THE DREAM.

So I have had to use every single ounce of restraint I possess to allow my home to get to a suitable point worthy of a hired house cleaner. Namely, not vacuuming the rug today. Oh, and also leaving a smudge of food by the sink. You do not even know how much I want to get up right now and clean that smudge off by the sink.

But NO! That is what I am now PAYING SOMEONE ELSE TO DO.

I was very tempted to post before and after pictures. But that would entail showing you pictures of my smudgy sink. And I DON’T THINK SO.

With all this free time I’ll have not cleaning my house, I am probably going to need a new hobby. Suggestions?
