The Cleaning Lady

The cleaning lady comes today. That is what we call her no matter who it is. Cleaning ladies have been in and out of my marriage. They came after the children and when the husband traveled internationally. Then they left after the children grew and became more expensive. My husband hired one about four years ago because he was freaking out about the black rings in the toilet. I tried to explain that was my signal to clean them You know first the pink rings,then the red rings and finally the black ring and then you clean. That cleaning lady lasted about three pay periods and the husband said we couldn't afford one. About a year ago I just got too tired to do much. I would plan to clean but take a nap instead. The toilet's black rings were having baby rings. The husband shelled out the dough and today I wait for her to arrive. The whole point of this musing is why do I clean and pick up before the cleaning lady comes?
