One word of advice - from the very first day you must be very specific about what you want done and how you want it done, if you wait - it will be more difficult and uncomfortable to change what she is already doing (example - my cleaning lady would mop the living room and kitchen floor without changing the water and after she left I would notice the apt did not smell as good as it should - realized the water was not clean and when I asked her to change it in the middle of the job, she got offended). Good luck and Congratulations on your beautiful son.<br />Ariele (NY)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33053911.post-66160478024393504892009-04-30T07:10:00.000+02:002009-04-30T07:10:00.000+02:00I'm so jealous!

Wait- what am I thinking- I'm at work catching up almost every Sunday. <br /><br />It's wierd how being at home doesn't help either. When I was home on maternity leave I was convinced that there was something wrong with our house- like we had a ghost messing things up behind my back. I told Tom all I did was wipe butts, noses, counters and floors!<br /><br />Good job Fred!
