Honesty - The Best Policy
You might think I am lazy after this post. That's O.K. I have this girlie come in and clean for me approximately every 8 weeks for about 4 hours each time. She does an O.K. job (not entirely to my satisfaction) and I feel comfortable leaving her alone in my house. However.... I have had a sneaking suspicion that she has not always been completely forthright in recording the time she takes to clean. I generally leave her a check for the amount of time we have decided upon and I assume (my fault) that she is being honest. So today I decided to use my Sherlock Holmes skills and I asked my neighbor to watch what time she left. That little hussy left an hour and a half early! I passively/aggressively emailed her to ask if everything was O.K. "because my mom stopped by at about 3:45 and you weren't here." I can be a liar too. She said she had to "run a quick errand but she came right back." Here is what I need from you. Do I trust her again or just clean my own damn house?? People. Irritate. Me.

I'll tell you what you do. You let her go, and find someone else to come and clean. Absolutely, under NO circumstances, do you EVER go back to cleaning your own house by yourself. I have someone come every 2 weeks - it is my (one of my) treats to myself. It makes me a better mom because I can actually do playdough, window painting, and other messy kid stuff and not pull out my hair. Trust me! Find some nice/sweet/Mormon mom (a benefit of living in Utah) you can trust, preferably recommended from someone you know, and get her scheduled! Julie
Julie,
I know why I have always liked you. Very sound advice indeed...
My advice- never trust a Mormon. KIDDING. (not really) I can't believe you are a lazy, liar! I shant speak to thee again!
Fer real though, I say there's a pretty good chance should you come right out and confront the hussy, she will T.P. your house and hang your dirty underwears from the trees.
Okay, you guys are killing me. As a baptized Mormon I feel I should defend our honesty. I walked OUT of Peerless yesterday with $20 of merchandise in my stroller. Although I was tempted to keep it for 2 reasons:
1-the kids were buckled in already
2-it promised me I would have big and sexy hair.
Then! I left Walmart with a HUGE bouncy ball that was promised hours of fun outdoors! Did I keep that? NO!
Honesty ladies. Mormon freakin honesty. Credit me where credit is due.
But! Fire her ass. You can't be lied to. I, too, recieve bi-monthly assistance in my home as frosting on my cake of life. I understand not having it cleaned to your OCD satisfaction- but it is one step closer than it would have/could have been. Take that for what it is worth.
It was, in fact, stated by a Mormon. Love ya.

Just in my friend Aimee's defense she too is a card carrying Mormon girl. But man, is she wild.....
