Maid-Armenda

I am really liking the new maid. She does everything I ask her to do plus usually more. She is always on time and I usually have to ask her to leave. :-) There is only one little problem.....she has really bad BO. I have showed her the bathroom that is hers. I have put soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush in her bathroom. My driver has told her everything in there is for her use and she still didn't use anything. It is so bad that when she comes out of a room I have asked her to spray room deodorizer in it or I can not go in the room. Today I just couldn't handle it anymore so I took her to the bathroom and showed her the tooth brush and toothpaste and said this is for brushing your teeth and made the motion of brushing my teeth. Then I got the deodorant and showed her how to make it go up and made the motion like I was putting some under my arms and continued with the shower soap and shampoo. She said ok and just smiled. This afternoon I was in a hurry for her to leave because I had to ride the bus to the school and with 10 minutes left before it was time for me to leave she came out and said she was going to take a shower. I couldn't say no since I was finally getting somewhere so I had to have the bus driver wait for me until she finished. I just wish I could get her to take a shower when she first gets here. My friend says her(the maid) husband will thank me....which I am glad but it doesn't do me much good. :-) Needless to say I have been spending a lot of time away from the house. Which isn't always a bad thing because today "my friend" helped me make my first pillow case. That's another blog story though.
