As bourgeois as this sounds, our housekeeper has not been to our house for three weeks. She would come twice a week and work for hours. We have neglected the house long enough, so we devoted today to cleaning the house. We swept and mopped every room. We cleaned out each child’s room, did a few loads of laundry. Sterilized every inch of all three bathrooms. Windexed all glass and mirrors. It was a lot of work, and the kids didn’t appreciate my rendition of “It’s a Hard Knocks Life”.
I had the middles (child 2, and child 3) and Bonnie had the bookends (child 1, and child 4). We threw away a lot of trash, found a large amount of “missing” toys. Overall it was a great day. We had a good breakfast and homemade chicken soup for lunch.
Bonnie and I were very pleased with the results, and with their attitude during the entire day.
As a reward we popped popcorn, and ordered Applebee’s. Applebee’s delivers. The food tastes just like Applebee’s food unfortunately. But the kids loved it.
