Dateline: 05/05/98
Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 10th. I have been thinking about what the ideal Mother's Day gift would be, and I think I have come-up with the perfect idea. If we could afford it, I would love to have a professional cleaning crew come to my house, and clean it from top to bottom! I mean clean the windows, clean the fingerprints off the walls, organize the closets, dust the blinds and ceiling fans, clean the carpets...the whole works. With three young boys, I realize this cleaning wouldn't last long, but it would be a start. And maybe I could try and keep-up with any new messes after this fresh start. I have a feeling this might just be wishful thinking, though, because I'm sure this would cost quite a bit. Merry Maids has a website, and they have a local cleaning service where I live, so maybe I will give them a call, and find out how much a thorough house cleaning would cost. In the meantime, here are some links to Mining Co. sites and Internet sites with Mother's Day information.
