I'm a "Lady" Again!!

One of the best things about being a mom is hearing all the funny little things our kids say. Seriously, some days I wish I could just climb inside their little heads and hear what is going on in there. Monday was certainly one of those days with Logan. I swear that kid thinks he's going on 30 and knows everything about everything half the time and other times he is the sweetest, most adorable little "almost 3 year" old who ever lived.

So Monday is my new cleaning day. I am COMMITTED to devoting every Monday to cleaning my house and doing the laundry. Since I was pregnant with Logan I've had housekeepers come every other week and on the off weeks I just do a little touching up but nothing major. We decided to try to cut back on some expenditures and I offered to give up my housekeepers. I'm actually quite excited about it because I feel like I'm getting back "in touch" with my house. Lots of reorganizing has gone on the past two Monday Cleaning Days! Anyway, on the days the housekeepers come I tell the kids that we need to be up and dressed before the "ladies" come. I hate saying cleaning ladies or maids so it has turned into calling them "the ladies".

Well Monday morning was my 2nd week in a row to clean the house and as I was scrubbing my shower (and talking on the phone with Julie:-) Logan walked into my room and said "Mommy, what are you doing?", I answered "Cleaning the house" and he said, with the most surprised and excited sounding voice, "Mom, you are a LADY again!!" Oh my gosh, it was sooooo funny! So now I've learned that to be a "real Lady", at least in Logan's eyes, you must clean your own house!!!
