One Life Stand

I need a little more practice if I’m going to live a life of leisure.  I had a cleaning lady come in on Saturday and it was a little bit awkward.  We had plenty of housekeepers when I was a child and that didn’t feel the least bit strange.  However, I must admit, I was a little uncomfortable ordering around a woman who was perilously close to being old enough to be my mother.  Especially since she didn’t do a fantastic job.  She did okay but I think that maybe no one can clean up to my standards.

When I was little, we had more than one housekeeper that just flat out sucked.  My aunt lucked up with a great housekeeper that she kept for years.  We went through about three before we found one we really liked though.  Maybe I should have gone with the Latina who gave me a quote last week.  I suspect she would have done a way better job but then again, I don’t speak Spanish so we wouldn’t have been able to communicate.  I think the adage that good help is hard to find is probably true.
