What a spoiled day I had yesterday! I paid to have my house cleaned. You know, the thorough deep cleaning that nobody ever has time to do? Walls, baseboards, blinds, light fixtures, windows...etc. The ladies that I hired are, honest to goodness, polygamists. Certainly not the kind who wear dresses over their pants and braids that wrap around their heads. These ladies are the Big Love (HBO tv series) kind of polygamists. They have acrylic nails and perfectly highlighted hair. And they are, by far, the nicest, most outgoing cleaning ladies I've ever met. They also cleaned better than any that I've hired.
I've always been so intrigued with polygamists. Don't get me wrong, I know that it's illegal. But there is something to be said for people who believe so much in their religion that they choose such a hard path in life. It cannot be easy to live with such scrutiny. I've often wondered if I have the kind of faith to stand by my beliefs in the face of so many trials. Just something I've been thinking about.

How did you know they were polygamists? Did they tell you? without the classic dress and braid, I doubt anyone would know right?
It IS very interesting.. I have never watched Big love.. I'm conflicted about watching it.
I knew that they were polygamist because they also clean my friend's house and they've discussed it. I didn't talk to them about it - I figured that I don't know them well enough yet.
I've watched Big Love - it's pretty racy, which I highly doubt is realistic - but very intertaining.
I used to be pretty confused about polygamy, now after being married and having children, I think I'd be OK if that was the way things were.
I'm all for sister wives, as long as I get to pick them. I say, leave the men out of it and just get me some girlfriends to talk to and clean with and to share my burdens with.
Something I think about at 3am when the baby won't sleep.
Good point. I think I'd enjoy the sisterhood, and HELP when I needed it too...
still.. It would be pretty different.
