Does This Sound Okay?

hmmm I am so not a sticky note person, but I do like the idea. I think I have OCD... I have a cleaning lady and I clean after she comes.... so sad but true..

MY DAD CLEANED BEFORE THE MAID SERVICE CAME! it drove me nuts! I understand now that he wanted her to do the harder stuff and leave the vacuuming and dishes and such alone, so he'd do that before she got there. but still! fork out the extra 30 bucks and have her do whole house top to bottom is what i used to say! .

sounds like your dad and I have something in common.... My husband gets mad. He says he's wasiting money paying someone else to do what I am going to redo anyways....

my dad could spot a single grain of sand on the carpet. literally. he is so anal, he freezes his garbage! SERIOUS! you know little bits of food you would normally scrape into the garbage? well, he puts it in a bread bag, ties it shut and puts in the freezer. Adds to it all week, and then throws away the bag on garbage day.
He folds all his plastic bags into little tiny squares and ties the handle around it to hold it together. I never figured out how he does it, other than it takes up a lot less spaces, it's stupid. takes forever. I made myself a bag bag out of an old pair of jeans, works great!
Everything he has ever owned is still in it's original box, even things that are 50 yrs old. This makes sense to me, but his electric frying pan, the cord, goes back into the little plastic bag it was packaged in. and the lid goes back into the plastic bag it was wrapped in. EVERYTIME he uses it.

Wow how do you find the time to wash their clothes while wearing your loaners?
I have in my parent Handbook that it is the parents responsibilty to make sure that their chil has enough supplies. I dont have loaner clothes, but I am thinking that I should get some. It would take more time to stop what we are doing, call the parents, get ahold of the paretns, have the child sit out naked or undressed, and then wait for the parents to come.
Maybe you could just charge a loaner outfit fee, if they don't return it...??

My laundry room is on the same floor as the daycare. I manage to find time to throw a load in. I dry it too! and then they have their own clothes back on so dont take my loaners. This is for the occasional blow out or messy craft. I dont find I need to do this too often.

Did he grow up in the depression? My grandmother (dad's side) and mother did and both did a LOT of those same type things.

Funny thing was, my mother made fun of my grandmother (dad's side) when they cleaned out her house for having/saving those things. She never realized she did the exact same thing.
