Cleaning is not my favorite thing, but I do love the fact that I can use it as pondering time for more interesting and important things. Today while washing the bathroom mirror in the kids' bathroom, I remebered the wonderful gift Sharra gave me for my birthday. As usual the Ward Christmas party was scheduled the night of my b'day, so that was our big event for the evening. When Sharra got home from school she rushed into the bathroom like she really had to go. Ii was busy with baby and other kids and getting things ready to depart for the party that evening. A while later she came out with a big smile on her face and said, "Mom, you have to come see the bathroom." I didn't catch on and expected to find a big mess from her siblings in there. Great--just one more thing to have to do before we leave. Nope! Sharra had cleaned the sink, countertops, mirror and wiped up the toilet and bathtub. Then she even emptied the trash can!!! What a sweetheart and what a thoughtful birthday present!!!
