Spring Clean!!
The day was going as it normally goes around here, actually a little more quiet. I watched my 3 yr. old grandson and 7 mos. old granddaughter for about 5 hours. The noise level in the house was a bit loud, they were having a blast, they have not been able to see each other for awhile and they made up for lost time. Toys everywhere!! I love it when they are able to play together. Needless to say today the girls were a little tired around the edges from yesterday, so they were a little less rambunctious.
The doorbell rang this afternoon and it was two gentlemen selling Kirby Vacuums. I told them that I could not afford one, but they insisted that I at least let them demonstrate the cleaner. So, after a few minutes of convincing I agreed to a demonstration, repeating to them that I was not going to purchase. They said they would be right back and sure enough a few minutes later, someone was back but it was not the original two, but another set of two. One was demonstrator and the other was the sales person. I kept saying to myself why did I agree to this. The demonstrator had to unpack the vacuum and put it together and proceeded to show me all of the different features. Since, I have dogs and two little girls that constantly drag dirt in or drop hairs there was plenty of places to clean. The young man that was giving the demonstration was new and he was very eager to show what he had learned. The salesman would come in and check on the demonstrator and they have to show their work, I felt guilty having this young man do all of the work and then not to purchase from them. I would tell the salesman that I appreciated the offer and that time would be served better elsewhere but they just kept insisting. I have to admit that it was very informative and the vacuum is a good name but my wallet does not hold the kind of cash needed for this, nor can I afford the monthly payments, especially right now with the way things are. They did a very nice job, and I have their business card and if I ever come up with the funds I might just give them a call back.
So my house was thoroughly cleaned, the couches were swept, the curtains, the plants, hard to reach places, ceiling fans, the beds were swept, and the carpet shampooed. It really was amazing and helped me cut back on what I need to do to finish my spring cleaning. Thank You Kirby!!
