While she loves teaching and stressing the importance of cleanliness in her kitchen classroom her bathroom is another story! I harp and hound her endlessly that the bathroom isn't "her" space. That it is in fact community use space. Not to mention I own the bathroom...just on loan to her for the better part of 24 years. Today I had enough! With M gone house sitting I rolled up my sleeves and went work--scrubbing toothbrush in hand. As I delved into the cleaning of the shower I was convinced M has a side job creating hair pieces for Hans Wiemann. The never ending hair ball....
An hour and half later the bathroom is bright and sparkly. It looks good. Smells good. No hair ball in sight. But I left a love note on the mirror as my parting gift. Because that's what a good "roommate" who cleans your bathroom should do.
Next time you bump into M be sure to say, "M you have the best (roommate) mom in the world!"

The hair. I dread the "hair" coming back to my shared bathroom in a few weeks. It's amazing they aren't bald.
You are a good mom. It's what we do for our kids....and...well, ourselves. I cannot stand a dirty bathroom. It's the first thing I do when I get to Colin's place--I clean the bathroom. The worst was when he lived in the college apartment with 3 other boys. That bathroom was...well...you know....
