AN ODE TO MY HOUSE CLEANER

12.12.2012 by Lynn Morrison /

Oh how I love thee, let me count the ways:

  1. I love that you never complain about the dried bits of playdoh crumbled under the kitchen table.
  2. I love that you dispose of all of my wayward hairs from the floor. You keep me from realizing that the kids have made me pull out all of my hair.
  3. I love that you iron all of my husband’s shirts but never empty the water out of the iron. That way he is both happy and annoyed at the same time. I couldn’t have done it better myself!
  4. I love that you wipe the snot off of the couch cushions without complaint…to me at least.
  5. I love that you don’t run screaming at the sight of my kitchen. You understand that you are the magical elf in my house.
  6. I love that you come in the morning so that I can have a few hours of cleanliness before Mr. Dirtyshoes and the Messypants Sisters come home.
  7. And finally, I love that you let me overpay you each week so that I can avoid any guilt over the state of the house.
