I am a terrible.......TERRIBLE.......housekeeper. This house is not filthy. It is passable. But, I would rather do anything than clean house. I think it is because I was required to do it and punished so severely if I didn't when I was a young girl. It's my way of rebelling.
My grandmother was an immaculate housekeeper. When she turned 85, we had a surprise party for her. Most of us who possibly could flew in and we also invited as many of her oldest friends who were still alive as we could locate. She, indeed, was surprised. At the point she realized that a whole slew of people were coming into her home, she said, "If I knew all these people were coming here, I would have dusted everything in the china cupboard." This is the line of housekeepers I come from. It's a tough legacy to live up to!
