How To Get Your Husband to Hire A Cleaning Service

This is an active blog post. To participate you must do the following:

Place your right palm over your ear
With your left pointer-finger and thumb, pinch your nose closed
Do your best seal barking impression
Lay in your bed and don’t move (except to re-prop your pillows) for 48 hours.

What do you mean you don’t get it? It’s what you’d sound like if you had a double ear infection, sinus infection and croup! If your husband is like mine he’ll feel so guilty, will realize how much you do everyday, and will want you to get healthy so fast that he surprises you by “lightening your burden.”

Awesome, right? Not the sick part, but the cleaning service part! Hooray for spending another day in bed and not having to clean the bathroom! (Being six-plus months pregnant might help a little too!)

Oh no!!! Becky, this is horrible! Well, at least the cleaning service is a plus. Next time, just let the clothes pile up, “forget” to vaccuum and shove dishes in the sink. That will work too (uh, does it sound like I speak from experience??)

A little extreme, but if it gets you out of mopping the floor, I’ve got no qualms. 😉

Wow, I get a lot of sinus infections (which suck) but I can’t imagine having ear infections at the same time. Hope you feel better!

Oh no. Feel better soon. Glad you got a cleaning service though. Does your husband know that you can schedule them to come back once every week or two?

@Carrie: Oh yeah! They are coming every other week until Baby No.3 gets here. WOOT!!

@Demitria: Modern medicine ROCKS!! They gave me cough syrup with Codeine in it. I feel MUCH better today…both from the tingly-goodness and being able to sleep!
