:( - Monday morning blues

The housekeepers were suppose to be here at 9. It's 9:45 and there are still not here. DH is the one who hired them and he is at a dentist appointment. I don't know who to call.

The landlord and realtor are coming by at 1pm tomorrow to list the house. We are breaking our lease because it's really hard to find a place around there that allows dogs in our price range. One popped up so we grabbed it. Making us pay double rent in Oct. Not a big deal.

I really wanted to have profession cleaners in here to make the place shine for the landlord. Figuring if it's shows nice then it might sell fast and then the fact we broke the lease early wouldn't matter too much.

I guess it's time for me to get off TK and get cleaning. I'm not great at cleaning. It's not a pig pen, but the little things like baseboards, walls, etc. Yeah, not so good at those.

Have a good day!

hehe. sucks they were a no-show, that's just bad business. Have you heard from them?

are you buying a place now?

DH called them 3 times. They never picked up.

We are renting another place for now. We do have a house buying clause if we find something.

I'm looking for a new cleaning lady too since mine cancelled the night before her scheduled day on a weekend I was having guests, meaning I had to spend 1/3 of my weekend doing it myself. I do think I do a better job, but it's not anything I like doing!

I basically spent 2 days cleaning.

Now in my defense, the first day was me cleaning/purging while watching the Eagles game. I think it's safe to say I wasn't moving too fast.

Pretty much all of yesterday and today. Between the walls, baseboards, stairs and moving furniture I had to deal with not one but TWO floods/leaks.

The landlord loved how we kept the place, but it's not enough for me to want to do this on a regular basis. I'm good at organizing, decluttering, dusting/vacuuming. The little details, not so much.

I am in dire need of a cleaning service. I don't need anyone more than once a month, but I am WAY too busy to try to keep up with everything on my own. However, H feels a maid is an unnecessary expense. He has the mentality of "why should we pay someone to do something we can do ourselves?" Point taken, but I work two jobs, we're frequently on travel for work, and I am pretty firm on having some down time as to not stress my body to the point of getting sick again. Although our finances are separate and I can just spend the money without his approval, this is not a hill I choose to die on. I just wish he'd reconsider!

I'd totally clean all your houses.

I love to clean. I'm proudly that broad in the Dyson commercials happily vacuuming the ceilings. I'm almost excited that it's almost time to do the hands and knees scrub on the floors again.

I've actually looked into cleaning services since I'm looking for a new job but the pay starts way too low. I shoulda done that like ten years ago.

We have a cleaner. DH occasionally questions why we pay her to come in every 6 weeks or so. Then he has to do a major clean for something (friends over, who knows) and agrees that she's totally worth it. We could clean on our own, and used to, but we can afford her and we'd rather spend our time doing something else together

ETA - we do clean, just not a major house overhaul.

DH finds it's worth it because he doesn't want to do it himself.

My DH says "Well you have a cleaning lady."
I say no, YOU have a cleaning lady, since I have to do everything in between and you do nothing!
