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.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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...

msbelle, it just depends. I would want help not because I mind doing the things I have listed, but because I have limited time to do them.
We got a call from the new school district's nursing department today. For Grace, instead of giving us a health aide, the district will pay our current nursing provider for the hours when Grace is in school. Which means, AWESOME, someone who knows what they are doing -- an LVN and not just some district fool.

Well, ultimately, that IS the problem, isn't it? Not enough hours in the day for the life we'd like to live, given our priorities and needs.
And here comes round two of the storms. I'm getting quite good at being an amateur meteorologist, at least with regards to looking at the radar and guesstimating when it will hit. At least once it is this side of the 'mountains' they call the Appalachians.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My priority is apparently watching ALL OF THE TEEVEE.

They are mountains. They're just old and tired mountains.
I can't think of anything that could be called housework that I like to do.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What kind of lettuce should one use for a lettuce wrap and how does one go about using lettuce as a wrap? The attempt I just made was tasty but very, very messy.
