My new au pair

My new au pair arrives at our home tonight.  But my house is a pig sty!  Hopefully, she won't notice.  Yeah, right. 

The cuteness of my kids should so dazzle her that she won't care.  I wish just once I could get my shit together to give my au pairs a proper welcome, with gifts and home cooked meals and a house that is not a mess, but my cleaning women come tomorrow, so it is about its worst, and I've been busy with work and distracted, so we'll have to get takeout. 

I hope she turns out to be as nice as she seemed over the phone.
