Aug. 21st, 2014 09:36 amI've got to remember to ask our cleaning lady, when she comes today, if she can give me an extra hour next week or the week after (and maybe for two weeks in a row) so that we can work on cleaning the basement. Then again, I'm not sure how much of what's down there is stuff she can help with. She can sweep and mop and maybe dust and deal with spiderwebs, but she doesn't know where any of the crap on the floor goes. She should be able to help me move the broken furniture that's stuck in the corner by the treadmill, though. It's not heavy stuff. If it didn't have to be lifted, I could move it.
I'd like to get Cordelia involved in this-- most of the debris in the main part of the basement is hers-- but the timing may not work out. She'll have two friends over a week from today (their mother asked me to babysit. I'd say no to a playdate on a Thursday afternoon so as not to make things harder for the cleaning lady, but this is different), and after that, she'll be back at school and dealing with homework and all that.
Speaking of going back to school, Cordelia didn't believe me when I told her that she'd have both sixth grade teachers, just for different subjects. She's used to having a single classroom teacher for all subjects, but this year, one teacher will teach language arts and social studies while the other teaches math and science. They've told us that the sixth graders will actually switch classrooms on a schedule. I'm not clear as to what that will look like. I suppose we'll find out.
