Lorena...

is our housekeeper. She comes every other Tuesday and (in conjuction with Tamar) does a great job of cleaning up the house. I always tell her that "Lorena is my favorite person."

Thing is, Lorena leaves around 4 and by 6pm, it's like she was never there. Well, that may be a stretch, but over the course of the next 24-48 hours, the transformation (regression?) of the house from immaculate to child-ravaged (and this, despite our noble efforts) is a process to behold.

It's a battle that can't be won.
