Let me just straighten up a little
My mother-in-law (Hi Sue!), after visiting us and helping us take care of the twins a few weeks after they were born, after seeing the utter chaos that is raising two babies, after witnessing the filfth of our bathrooms after they hadn’t been cleaned in three weeks (Hmmmm, let me see. Should we sleep or clean the bathroom?) decided to give us the best gift anyone could possibly give – a year’s worth of maid service.
Oh man. It is so great knowing we don’t have to clean the house all of the time now. I mean, now we only clean right before the maids come. Because, you know, we don’t want them to thnk we’re slobs or anything.

Lol. We do the same thing. The maid is coming and we are putting stuff away in the kitchen and putting clothes away. I know it’s stupid but it happens every time. The worst thing is when that year is over because you will NEVER be able to live without a maid again…..

It was having too many kids that made us cancel the cleaner (when I went PT & dropped 2/3 of my salary). I really, really miss her. It’s the first thing I’ll have back when I get a real job again

My housekeeper comes every other Friday. And every other Friday, when the boys and I come home, Charlie looks around out house and says, ‘What’s that funny smell?’
And I say, ‘That’s what CLEAN smells like.’

Your mother-in-law is a Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful woman. Wonderful. Have you let her know this – often and with great fervour??
“That’s what CLEAN smells like.” Every other Friday. LOL

My Mom did the same thing for us. It’s the best gift anyone could have given us (except my in-laws also paid a good friend of mine to come help three days a week when The Sqaud were babies).
I cannot say how much the (free) cleaning people have improved my life.

What a thoughtful gift! Lucky you! Love the new pics of the babies. They get cuter everyday.
