5 Minute Weekend Freewrite Prompt continuation | Perfect Nanny
Of course, as their mother she was not completely blameless in this field. After all, she could have spent the morning cleaning up rather than painting the living room again. But while she enjoyed refurbishing and renovating, she detested the daily household chores that kept life on an even keel. Or at least kept it sanitary. She saw Sangria, Cassy's black cat and familiar, slink in through the pet door.

For want of a wand, a house was lost, Joanna thought. If she could use magic to clean her house, she would not need a dishwasher or perhaps the perfect nanny for her two daughters. The doorbell rang. She wiped her hands on her jeans and ran to answer it. She opened the door slowly and smiled. It was the temporary housekeeper which she has engaged from the Agency to help around the house. The agency had recommended Louisa Alvaz and her husband highly. Louisa kept the house while her husband, Samuel, took care of the grounds, which included the pool, the landscaping, the gardens, and the roof. Louisa explained that her husband was finishing a job out of town but would meet them that afternoon. The family was to stay in the cottage out back, and they had brought their things in the car.
Joanna hooded. "And who's this handsome young man?" she asked, leaning down tickle the boy's belly. The boy jumped away and flapped his arms, giggling.
"This is Jack."
At his mother's prompting the boy spoke. "I'm four," he said deliberately, rocking his heels up and down.
"Wonderful." Joanna remembered her own boy, so long ago. She wondered if she would ever see him again.

I do want to continue on and have it become a novel. Only wish I had more discipline to write daily.
