We have no cleaning person anymore, which is fine. But man the floors kill me.
Randomly, on Sunday there was a 400 lb black bear in my neighborhood that they have nicknamed Meatball. Like 1 block north and two blocks west.
Also, Grace's nurse does a ton of Grace things that include sorting her clothes and pulling the too small stuff, crafts with Grace, maintaining her machinery, organizing her crap (toys as well as supplies etc).
You've got a mascot!
I actually don't mind vacuuming and mopping. Wish it didn't take 2 hours to do the whole house, but I do appreciate my clean and shiny floors and NO CATHAIR RHINOS TUMBLING across the carpetting. Or bedding down in them. And this time of year, it's a losing battle (cleaned this weekend, Already spotted some rolling juvie wildlife.)
I love grocery shopping! And man, we have someone come once a month and it's $125 (before tip) so $65 for every other week sounds amazing.
My grocery shopping is farmers' market (which gets my ass moving early saturday morning,) Target for a few things, TJs for a few. Occasional runs to a real grocery for the veggie juice I like that Target no longer carries. I've totally moved away from one-stop shopping, but since the base of all my meals is the FM....speaking of which, I still have to figure out what to do with my two monster zucchinis and ears of corn. Just haven't had the spoons (or desire to turn on stove) for either yet. But you damn betcha I've almost finished 2+ pints of blueberries, 1/2lb spinach and working on the arugula... Eyes were a little too big this saturday.
My cleaning people (through Merry Maids) vacuum, dust, make the bed, and clean bathrooms and kitchens. They don't do dishes, do laundry, or clean windows. I wish they'd clean the upholstered furniture and move the lighter furniture to vacuum underneath/behind it.
At our old place we had someone come in ever other week for $70.
Meatball is cute, but... it's a black bear. In my neighborhood! [link]
Yeah, I know. Make a lot of noise when you are outside. That's what they always told us about black bears, grizzlies we were supposed to be really really quiet and hide. Oh, yeah, you've got Noah and Roman.
These are not all things I mind doing, just stuff that it is hard to fit in unless it is all I do on a Saturday.
It seems odd to say I need help with 20 hours of stuff a week in addition to mac.
Uh, it doesn't sound odd at all. It sounds like a something that makes life a lot easier. Hello, you have all these single people without kids seriously wishing for the same!
Oooh, bright lightning again...
