It's all I've ever wanted!


So yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my daughter who informed me she was on her way home from school “to clean the house!!”


???


She was coming home to clean the house as a birthday gift to me, being the starving college student and all that. I have been asking for this gift since I don’t know – forever maybe??? Mother’s Day, my birthday, Christmas – kids – don’t spend money on me – just clean the house. I’ll love it!


And now it’s finally happening. Sigh-h-h.


Life is good.

  1. Half the fun will be watching her do it.

    Again...I'm jealous.

    I love the picture of Riley...anything animal and I'm a sucker for it.

    I'm gonna get a picture of Pinky doing the same thing, he's the one here who manages the window. Too funny.

  2. What a thoughtful thing to do. How many years do I have to wait for this? My kids dropped cracker crumbs all over the floor I'd just vacuumed before I even finished vacuuming the other rooms.

  3. Sounds like the perfect gift to me! I've boys, their idea of cleaning is to shove as much under anything with a gap as they can.........AND they make toast in the morning, its like every knife, plate, cup, glass is used, I guess I love it!

  10. Let's see. I've been asking for this every birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas - for as long as my kids would have been old enough to do it! :) It IS a wonderful gift and my daughter is a very good cleaner - I'm thrilled!
