Last time we had someone come in to clean, a the glass on the 100+ year old Queen Ann Clock on our mantel was broke, the floor boards sustained various vacuum cleaner dings and She was very dissapointed with the way the baths turned out. Needless to say, unless her Mom or Me (then again she isn't happy with my pace!) are the outside help she just as well not have it dne at all.
One thing is interesting, she is quickly becoming a master at the passive aggresive techiques though. Fortunitly, the best defense against such a ploy is to just stare at her for a few seconds respond with 'Oh, OK Sweetheart. Is there anything I can get you?" all the while thinking about resting a sofa in a beautiful field of Blue Bonnets and Daisies, both Our little ones on each arm nestled, puffy white clouds in the sky, the huanting tunes of Roxy Music floating through the air...
'I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing...'
Then the dream ends with
GET THAT SILLY GRIN OFF YOUR FACE! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU! ARE YOU INSANE! I SHOULD HAVE MARRIED BOBBY SMITHERS!!!
