Until
now, we’ve done a pretty good job of keeping up with cleaning the house and
taking care of a baby. Lately though, that’s getting harder and harder.
Sleepless nights, early mornings, late nights, and a needy baby have made it
hard to have the energy for anything else but child care. A couple of times
now, my wife has hired a maid to come and clean, but that’s too expensive to
keep up.
So,
I’ve come up with a new plan. I’m going to throw a murder mystery house
cleaning party and invite all of our friends and family. Participants will have
to do household chores to find clues to solve the mystery. Fold laundry, take
out the trash, clean dishes, etc. I’ll be the dead body, and my wife will be
the host...so we can relax while the cleaning is going on. Surely some drinks
and snacks are cheaper than a maid!
And
if it’s successful, it may be an every weekend event. We might be able to
expand it to coworkers, neighbors, church...who knows.
