Yay, yay, yay! I'm so glad you found someone you could trust to do the job.

That is excellent.

Salli that is wonderful! One less thing you have to worry about. (Now

you have more time to help Enrique with his homework! )

So she didn't complain that your house was to messy to clean??

days ago. I am going to have her a couple of times a week and

perhaps I will no longer answer the door by opening it a crack so no

one can see inside, LOL.

Darn... and I was so hoping. With that, and not having a law degree,

I think you are definately out of the running.

Awesome! =)

That's how I answer the door, too...though it's just as much to keep the

(usually naked) child in as the people out! If your child can't undress

himself yet, try a turtleneck. Wonderful motivation. Thank God for

childproof diaper pins. (Yes, as in cloth, pins, & rubber pants. I AM

psycho hippie woman! =)

And I am going to bed now.

Good night, Sara. Nice to hear from you. Let us know what happens tomorrow

even if Gabe has to cry for all of FOUR minutes.

Salli, who used cloth diapers for over ten years but changed to disposable

after Robbie was born; newborn baby, Mr. Putt is full flower of autism,

three other kids and loony tune abusive husband was WAY too much to handle
