The Cleaning Lady? - NOPE!

I know a lot of stay-at-home-moms that don't put the emphasis on a clean house the way that i do . . a lot of them call me OCD actually . . I have to agree in some ways. Since having kids, messes drive me nuts! I don't know exactly what happened, but I have to have a clean house or I'm uncomfortable even going out for the day. It's almost like I don't deserve it in my head. Go ahead. Call me crazy. Well, since I'm cleaning everyday, my girls are quite used to it. So used to it in fact, they now want to do it for me!! Hire a maid? I don't think I need to! I have super girls who give me all the help I need!

It all started with the vacuum. Paetin was TERRIFIED of them when she was little after having a rather unfortunate experience with our ROOMBA. She would crawl up to it, push the "on" button and end up being pushed around the floor screaming. Really no reason to explain, but after a few reenactments of that, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with any type of vacuums. Well, she seems to be over that, since now when I vacuum, she begs me for a turn. Of course since she got a turn, Camy wants one. So whenever that bad boy is out, I really just have to turn it on before those little ladies take over for me! (; Camy also happens to be a pro at helping "load" [really she unloads] the dishwasher for us. She is pretty awesome.  Paetin helps me dust, and clean the glass . . but really, my next goal is to get them to sweep and mop the whole downstairs without even needing to prompt them.. I'll have to let you know when that happens! (;
