Hello good people of the blogging world! I haven't posted for nearly a week, and I've been missing it. I visited some friends the other night, and they were threatening to hunt down my blog. So... let me know J&B when you find it... :)
I had to get over to Pier 1 tonight, because I had a gift card that I thought would soon expire. (I realized after getting there that I have another year before it expires.) It's not that I don't like Pier 1 or can't find things there I like. The opposite is more the case. I like so many things that I can't decide on one thing to use the gift card on. I'll think... "oh, that's neat," but "I guess I really don't need that." So, I vascillate between liking things and vetoing them because of their impractical nature. But, I finally decided on something tonight - two somethings actually - twelve somethings, really. I bought a set of heavy ceramic mixing bowls (4 total) and eight coffee cups that look to be hand-painted - with brilliant colored vertical stripes on them. So, I ended up going over my gift card amount by $25. Figures. But, I think I'm happy with my selections.
So... I'm debating something recently... maybe you can help! I'm wondering if it's a terrible waste of money to hire someone to clean my house. Here lately I'm doing good just to get it picked up. It would make me feel much better to know it's getting a good thorough cleaning (dusting, moping, etc.) at least once a month. But, obviously it will cost me... probably between $30 and $50/month. I dunno. In some ways it seems like something I should be doing myself. But, I'm NOT doing it. And, I have a hard time truly relaxing when I there's cleaning yet to be done. So, I'd love for you to weigh in on the matter. Seriously, I want your opinion!

There's nothing wrong with hiring someone to clean your house for you. You have an active lifestyle that doesn't leave you much time at home. Having someone helping you out frees you up to do the things you enjoy doing, and the cleaning person benefits from it :)
On the flip side, screen/interview your cleaner before you hire him/her! You don't want someone who will not do a good job, or worse yet, steal from you.
Glad to see you back on the blogwagon this week. I've been feeling a little lonely ;)
AMEN to someone cleaning your house! I, for one, am anxious for the day when I can hire someone to come in monthly/biweekly to to the nitty gritty stuff around here. With a second baby on the way, I hope that day arrives sooner than later ... our house is a disaster now!
