Full Circle.

The sexiest words ever spoken came from Matt's mouth this evening, "Why don't we hire someone to clean the house?"

He might as well have elevated off the floor.

this was post conversation about another upcoming work trip. "How will it all get done?", I thought.

Then he spoke those magic words... "hire someone..."

But wait, suddenly, all clean, down from their bath, Jack says, "mom, do you have any chores?" "maybe I could clean the floors? You go sit and relax."

this from a child that has grown to a point of being too self-conscious to even hug me goodbye at school this week, and unwilling to even snuggle before bed. My heart has been aching for his clutch. he is growing up.

So all of this. Before me. From them. My boys.

Clean the floors they did, and the bathroom... "MOM! I just wiped up pee!!" "anything more to do?"

So now, back to the question... to hire someone? or have my boys learn the power of appreciation for what we have by helping out Mom more?

What do you think?
