Stuff I Learned From My Kids: Part 1

I’m making this Part 1 — simply because I know there will be more Stuff down the line. And don’t get me wrong — I’ve already got heaps of lessons under my belt. But this last thing — The Thing I learned this week — It’s a real jewel and I just wanted to share it with everyone.

I mean EVERYONE. EVERYWHERE.

My daughter runs a business out of her home that keeps her mega busy and…THREE kids. So a while back she got a cleaning service. When I stayed with my granddaughters this week — Mom and Dad were on vaca — the cleaning service came for their twice a month cleaning.

I have to tell you — my daughter’s place was clean when I got there. Very clean. At least to my standards and you are looking at a woman with nearly life-long OCD. Whenever my SO and I would have a fight — I’d take a scrubber to my cooktop to diffuse my angst. Yeah — that’s me.

But when these ladies left — the place nearly sparkled. And smelled so nice. I can’t remember a time when MY whole house was clean. All the rooms — together — at the same time — as the floors and the toilets. And the appreciation for the intelligence of My Child grew in leaps and bounds.

Her Momma didn’t raise no fool!

So right then and there I got online, found a cleaning service in my area, and booked it.
