The magic cleaning elf disappeared... I'm sure you've heard of her, she's the little elf that comes out early in the morning before anyone else wakes up and cleans up messes you've left. I don't think she knows that I moved... I wake up and the chair that I left pulled out from the under the table is still pulled out, or the cupboard I didn't close all the way is still not closed! I hope she didn't get lost on the way to my apartment, because if she doesn't come soon, I'm going to have to start remember all these little things that I have to do.
Maybe she's just feeling a little under appreciated and I need to remind her how grateful I am for her help. Just like anything, I didn't realize how much she did for me, but now that she's gone I realize I depended on her A LOT! She did so much for me that I didn't even realize. At home if I left the chair out from under the table, she would wake up and put it away and I wouldn't think anything of it. So I guess I should just tell her that I miss her and I want her back... Or I'm just going to have to take over her job, and I don't know if I'm up for the challenge...
(I love you mom!)
Thank you Kyra. I don't think I was good as you make it seem, but I do appreciate the comments. I miss you. Love Mom
ReplyDeleteVery, very cute. I often wish the magic cleaning elf would come to my house too. It's just one of those things that everyone takes for granted when they are young. When my boys pick up something without being asked it's like getting an exciting Christmas present. It makes me soooooo happy.
ReplyDeleteI often have moments now as a mom that I understand why she was the way she was. I understand her 1000 times better now. She was ornery at times, but she was underpaid and underappreciated, One day while doing laundry I was thinking about how nice it would be to open my drawers and find clean clothes. That's what Chad and the boys get every week. Then I realized, I got 18+ years of that because of my mom. (Chad helps me sometimes, but I try to get it down before he gets home, because he works so hard at his job too.)
Kyra, my mom's e-mail address is kbgerber@gmail.com. Will you add her to your list of people who can sign into your blog? Thanks,Crystal
