TO CLEAN OR NOT TO CLEAN

Not to clean ... always my answer. Or, usually my answer. Either way, I'm not very proactive about cleaning. You know when I do clean? When a cleaning person is coming over. (can you still say cleaning lady? maid?)

My obsession with deals has already been blogged about ... but remember that deal I made with myself? (drinking game - how many times can I use the word deal?) I can buy them if they are related to me becoming a domestic type gal. This one is a toss up for me because it's kind of a cop out ...

CLEANING SERVICE DEAL!

Cop out devil on my shoulder says: that's not fair. You're flunking the cleaning test because someone else is cleaning for you. You should be learning to find the joy in cleaning.

Cop out angel says: You're still finding the joy of cooking, so go ahead and splurge. Plus, it's proactive to schedule help when you can't do it all. I feel like that's something that my mom would say, and I consider he advice to be sound.

Deal breaker: BF and I decided that if we don't indulge in cleaning help, we'll never make it. It's the only thing we fight about. Once a week. On repeat. So there it is ... TO CLEAN! (with help)
