but the thread made we want to share a little drama that has unfolded in my home.
My wife, aka Her Sweetnesty, has a heart of gold. She knows a woman who has lost her job and can't seem to find one. Her Sweetnesty has taken this woman on as a project to help her get on her feet. She sat down with her went over everything she needs to do to get her resume together. Spent several hours at the house with her going over things. Even lining up potential jobs for the woman. But things just seem to be getting worse and she is not far from losing her home.
HS, came up with the brilliant bailout plan for her. She suggested that we let her clean our home. Her Sweetnesty batted those lashes at me and I agreed that this might be a good thing. (If she is happy then I'm happy if you know what I mean.) So on Friday, we postponed a little getaway I had planned so HS could meet with this woman and go over her duties and the arrangements. HS, is also quite generous when she has a dog in the race. Anyhow, today was the first day of work for our new housekeeper. Of course I was gone before she shows up so I was planning on returning home to a spotless house.
I get home and find a very sweet and positive note stuck to the side door telling where the key is hidden and that she should call if there are any problems. Anyhow, I walk in the house and everything is just like we left it. No phone call no note nadda. HS tells me at supper that the woman has yet to contact any of the people she suggested nor has she had time to prepare her resume. Oh well, I'm sure something major must have happened and I'll wait and see how the drama unfolds. Of course if it doesn't work out, I'm thinking that maybe we should get a baby sitter and I can buy HS one of those french maid outfits like they show on the Hardee's commercial and we can clean house together. I think this may give me some needed incentive to chip in on some extra house work. :lol2:
But we'll see how the drama unfolds. Don't want to judge the woman for only missing the first day of her new job.
