Housecleaning

Apparently, it’s not hard to put dirty dishes in the sink but it’s next to impossible to put them in the dishwasher.

I lost it last night. I am tired of doing all the housework: mopping, scrubbing the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen. This morning, having come to the conclusion that Steve and I have much better things to fight about, I contacted a bunch of housecleaners posted on Craig’s List for rates, references, etc. I don’t think Steve is going to be happy about this, but tough.
