Your blog is birth control.

And how come the average mommy doesn't weight 80 pounds?...I always thought it would be very very fair if every time we gave birth, we could grow another arm and hand. It would be so "handy", for lack of a better term. And you know, here in the Valley, guys can drive past the Home Depot and get all kinds of "Day Labor"...you get me?...where can we go?...where can we drive past to pick up a female day laborer???? Walmart??? I need to work on this????

And yes honey...your post is birth control....but your pics are adorable...

What??? There's pay involved? I've been doing all that for free all this time?

And no, sticky hugs and slobbery kisses are not compensation for cleaning up puke at 3 AM. It just isn't.

Oh, there's no pay involved for ME, but I am willing to pay someone to come take over. I can't afford what someone would charge for all of this, but I might get a few things done that are hanging over my head and have nothing to do with children. . .

Ummm, what happened to 6:30-3 pm? I was ready to apply, until I saw the dinner-bedtime schedule.
But, then, I doubt you could afford my rates. They involve not only cash, but beachfront property.
And you thought I came to CA to see the grandkids. Really, its just for the beach!

It's still 6:30 to 3pm, but if you look closely, it's 6:30 Monday to 3 pm Friday! You can sleep at night- maybe I'll let you go to bed at 10? :)

Yes, I too dream of beach front property!!
