Please Don't Feed the Dust Bunnies!

Recently Turley sent me the best card!

Cover: They say the house isn't going to clean itself.

Inside: But I'm giving it another week, just to be sure!

You can only imagine how much I've laughed over that card. I'm reminded of an old Twilight Zone I saw years ago. It was a housewife who couldn't seem to get her house cleaned. At the end of the show she is battling this giant dust monster growing in the corner. Whenever my house gets overwhelming, I start humming the theme to the Twilight Zone!

Actually, I've hired someone to do some cleaning for me! Since my fall last May, I've had trouble with my shoulder. With Ken and Kevin working overtime plus, I decided it was time to hire someone to do my vacuuming. One of the neighbor girls is my new housekeeper. :-) She comes on Saturday mornings, and in a brief hour dusts and vacuums my entire house -- something that usually takes me hours to do because I'm easily sidetracked! Kevin has been teasing me, though. On Friday I find myself running around trying to make sure everything is in order before she comes! :-)

When you're through will you come down here? You will be a professional by then and there are lots of dust bunnies here. I figure since you have cleaned out several houses you'd be great.

Sounds like me with babysitters. It's supposed to be my night off, right? But I run around exhausting myself so the babysitter doesn't let our secret out - We're slobs.
