Pondering the tough questions
House cleaning takes many forms at my home. Some days I use it as a time to contemplate and pray. Other times, I turn up the music and dance my way through it - this is not my boys' favorite thing (some of my music or any of my dancing). And other times, like today, my mind wanders and I ponder the important things in life.........if someone else cleans your house, do they tell you that your bathtub needs recaulked or that the shower head in your kids' shower is not really working properly?
Seriously, think about it. My boys are not going to say, "Hey Mom, the shower isn't putting out much water." No, they would really not notice until the silly thing completely quit working! So, would a housekeeper leave me a note, or would they just call a handyman to fix whatever needs fixin'? Maybe the housekeeper is sleeping with the handyman......
I amuse myself with little things like this to make myself feel better about scrubbing all surfaces of my own house. How would I possibly know what needed attention if I did not personally take care of it????
Truthfully, I would be willing to take that risk!

I'm willing to take a risk. Come clean my bathroom and tell me if something needs fixed. Or don't. You could call the handyman. Well, is your hubby the handyman? Maybe you should call the handyman....
