Surprise!

Ok, so today my husband thought he would surprise me by having someone come in and clean out carpet. Well, the only problem is that we have sit through a demonstation. @ 12 a girl shows up knocking and ringing, I throw on some clothes (the Flu hit the girls last night) and answer. "Is Jimmy here?" "No." We had an apt @ 12 to ....." I didn't really listen to what else she said. I was thinking there goes another 2 hours of my life. We had one of these people in before and it takes them forever. Jimmy is conveniently at an apt w/a client. I call him and he explains that he wanted to "surprise" me by having our living room carpet cleaned. So I tell the girl to go ahead. Then when she starts her little spill she tells me she hasn't been doing this very long and .... again, I stop listening. Kirby Vaccuums. Jayden pipes up and says "Kirby, that is my best brothers name." She ended up leaving because she had to puke. I just need to remember it is the thought that counts.
