SATURDAY MAY 3,2008

WELL TODAY IS SATURDAY AND WE WERE GONNA GO TO CHANDLER BUT ITS KINDA LATE WE GOT UP LATE SO WE WILL GO TOMORROW.

DAD TOLD ME HE DOESN'T LIKE THE SHORTS WE FOUND IN THE WASH ALTHO THEY ARE NEW ONES WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY GOT IN OUR WASH UNLESS A RECENT VISITOR LEFT THEM BEHIND IN OUR  EXTRA BEDROOM. I ALWAYS WASH THE SHEETS AND BEDSPREADS AFTER A VISITOR SLEEPS THERE BECAUSE I DON'T  WANT TO SPREAD GERMS OR ANYTHING.

SO THE SHEETS GET WASHED OFTEN THIS YEAR.WE HAVE HAD 4 VISITORS ON 2 OCCASIONS AND A NEW ONE IS COMING NEXT WEEK TO STAY ABOUT 10 DAYS WHILST RECUPERATING FROM A HEART PROCEDURE BEFORE HE IS CLEARED TO GO TO THE NORTHERN US  WHERE HE LIVES.

THERE IS A MAYO CLINIC IN PHOENIX WHICH CATERS TO HEART AND SPECIAL PROBLEMS AND THAT IS WHERE THIS FRIEND IS HAVING TREATMENT.

IF I NEED IT IN FUTURE I WANT TO GO THERE  ALSO. BE ASSURED THAT MY BEDS ARE THE CLEANEST IN TOWN.

AND WHEN COMPANY COMES SO ARE OUR BATHROOMS AND FLOORS WE SCRUB AND  CLEAN AND WASH THE  THROW RUGS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I WISH I HAD A HOUSEKEEPER BUT MY KIDS ARE SCARED WE WILL GET A THUG TYPE CLEANER AND PLEAD THAT WE DON'T . HAHA WE HAVE HAD 2 HOUSEKEEPERS IN THE PAST AND ALL IT COST US WAS A SALARY , SOME OATMEAL AND A FEW BROKEN THINGS.  BUT THEY CLEANED WELL. BUT THIS WAS IN CALIFORNIA AND I KNEW THE  LADIES WELL ENOUGH NOT TO BE CONCERNED.

FUNNY BUT HOUSEKEEPERS START OUT REALLY NEAT AND AS TIME GOES ON THEY BEGIN TO SLACK OFF  HAS ANYONE WITH A HOUSEKEEPER EVER NOTICED THAT?

WELL ANYWAYS THEY DO DO THE THINGS I HATE TO DO OR DONT THINK TO DO OFTEN.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT MY LITTLE ANGEL CHILD THAT I USED TO CARE FOR  AND I REMEMBER ONCE SHE WAS RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT OF OUR CAR AS WE TRAVELLED TO THE FOOTHILLS TO BUY SOAPSTONE, A WOMAN PULLED OUT IN A CRAZY FASHION IN FRONT OF US AND THE BABY SAID "PUCKER LADY!!" WELL I KNEW SHE HAD LEARNED THIS FROM HER MOM BECAUSE HER DAD AND GRAMA DON'T TALK LIKE THAT AND THE MOTHER WAS VERY FLAMBOYANT.  WE HAD TO STRUGGLE NOT TO LAUGH IN ORDER TO EXTINCT THE BEHAVIOR BUT IT WAS HARD. WE TOLD HER GRAMA  ABOUT IT AND WE HAD A LAUGH THERE TOO.

ONCE AT HER FIRST CHRISTMAS WE WENT TO MAKE A VIDEO AND WATCH HER OPEN PRESENTS AND WHEN SHE GOT THE OUTER PAPER OFF SHE  SAID WITH GREAT DELIGHT" A BOCK!! A BOCK!!" SHE WAS HAPPY TO GET A BOX . WHAT A DARLING CHILD. WE JUST ADORED HER.
