You would think that now since school is back in session that I would have all this extra time on my hands. Um, totally not the case at all. For one, I work 4 days a week outside of the home plus now I have the added task of taking and picking up Taylor from school. If you’ve experienced the nasty, impatient moms picking up their children from school, please accept my condolences. Plus, I have the chore of homework duty. Needless to say, I could use an extra few hours in my day.
As I started noticing all the things that weren’t getting done around here, I began to drift off into my fantasy world of laying on the beach in a tropical location…okay not really. It’s pretty sad, but my fantasy world consists of a janitorial cleaning service that comes to my house and washes clothes, sweeps and mops, vacuums and dusts. In my fantasy world my house is clean, the clothes are washed and put away and I’m running around outside with my three children chasing grasshoppers and butterflies. Ouch, a little Hot Wheels car comes flying at my head and I’m back in my haven’t been dusted in weeks house.
In other words, I need a maid!

Boy, do I know what you are talking about! I need to clone myself to get everything done. I have two teenagers who just started high school this Monday and I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Driving one here one there every morning and night and past weekend. We need a vacation from the daily grind 🙂

If you need a maid are you entering the Scotch Brite sweepstakes? Except you can
have the maid or $2,500.
If I win, I’m taking the cash. The family
can live with a little dust, right?

Wow! I think you just described every woman’s ultimate wish! I found myself drifting off into la la land with you!

Sorry, I had to laugh at the Hot Wheels comment… I remember those days, only I was usually stepping on them in bare feet. OUCH!!
I am SO lucky that Bill does most of the housework around here, except the laundry, which I really don’t mind doing.
I hope you get your wish and get a made. 🙂

Omg, I can totally relate! My kids were driving me nuts by the end of summer. My two oldest were at each other’s throats and I couldn’t wait for school. I work nights and I have 2 younger ones who are not in school but I thought I would have a little more time. I was so wrong. There’s more to do when school starts. I need a vacation!

Can I share your fantasy world where my house is clean, the clothes are washed and put away and I’m running around outside with my three children chasing grasshoppers and butterflies. Please leave out the hot wheels.
