I’m so disappointed today.
Disappointed in myself. Nobody else to blame. I’m behind schedule. I’ve let things go. And maybe I wanted somebody else to clean it up.

Literally.

I had The Maids come this afternoon, and I was all ready for them.
I showed them around the house, told them what I wanted done, and
I
sorta
let
them
talk
me
out of some things.

I
think.

I don’t really know what happened.

But I am disappointed in how the house turned out.
It’s not as good as I wanted it to be.
The job they did was fine.
I wanted BETTER than fine.
I wanted to have a "knock my socks off" experience.
I wanted to weep with pleasure at the sight of my extreeeeeemely clean house.
I wanted to walk from room to room and enjoy the sparkling clean of every nook and cranny.
I wanted them to go above and beyond.

Here’s the lesson learned.
Write it Down.
Be Specific.
Don’t Take No.
and, Don’t Leave.

I was embarrassed to be here when they were. But I forgot that I was PAYING them to do something for me.

It was very hard for me. Harder than I expected.
And, now, with my family coming in 24 hours,
I
have
to
clean.
