How the Other Half Lives

I know a girl who has a cleaning lady.

A CLEANING LADY.

Think about that.

Now, here’s the part where I say I don’t actually want a cleaning lady.  I mean, they only clean.  They don’t organize or straighten or sort or any of those other things.  I don’t sit on the couch, staring at some shelf that needs dusting.  I sit on the couch and stare at the enormous pile of laundry that needs to be put away or the mountain of dishes that need to be done.

If cleaning ladies did that, I’d think about it.  But come on, once I’ve tackled the big stuff, I’m pretty sure I could wipe down the newly-cleared surfaces.  I say I’m “pretty sure” because I’ve never, like, DONE it.  I just think I probably could.

But it turns out… I kind of have a Cleaning Lady.  Cleaning Husband.  Husband Lady?

I was away for a few weeks, and was only minimally threatening about what should be the state of affairs when I returned.  You see, last time I went away, he left the countertops for ME to clean.  “Because you like wiping down countertops!”  There was a brief discussion after that one.

This time?  It was all done.  And. it. was. sparkling.  Be jealous.
