I don't have time to keep up with housework, kids, and classes. I'm WAY behind in one of my classes (fortunately it's DE so I'm not screwed ... yet ) and I cannot keep sacrificing reading/study time to the housework. I don't care if you're male or female - I'm an EOE. I also don't care about time of day as long as you're done/gone by about midnight because I go to bed around 1. I do not have rubber gloves, but I do have all the cleaning products.
- Dishes ... feel free to cram what you can in the dishwasher. Srsly. Handwash the rest. Anything that's already clean will be put away before you get here. - Wipe the stovetop - Clean off the counter - Put away the kids toys ... and by put away, I mean get them off the floor as fast as you can w/o breaking stuff so you can sweep the floor. - Wipe down their dinner table and chairs - Sweep then swiffer hard floors through the house - Help me take down Christmas decorations ... the tree is heavy because the poles are steel to protect the fiber optics. I don't want to damage it.
That's basically it. You can probably do it in an hour - takes me about an hour - or if you're really good, less. If you do, I might have a couple other small things like maybe you can help me fold laundry but that's it -- nothing big/nasty/major, just the daily grime.
What will I be doing?
- laundry - animal cages/bowls/etc - putting away ornaments, taking the lights off the porch >.< , wrapping up glass stuff - Clearing off some surfaces that have become catch-alls - if the kids nap, studying
What else might you take away?
- I have a LOT of kid stuff both mine/my kids and from my sister. I've been passing it along a little at a time. My neighbor took a lot of stuff for her classroom. We can go through the box after the work's done. - I need to thin out my pantry. I don't know what I'm going to get rid of yet though. - other stuff - we'll see - I'm purging things preparing for graduation.
Misc. Details: - I live near Fuquay. I can give you a ride here, but I'm not driving all the way back to Raleigh. The southernmost bus line is at K-mart at 401, so if you need transportation I'll drop you off there. Bring your student ID and I think you can ride the bus free. - I get out of class at 2:45. This means if you need a ride, be ready by 3 or 3:30. If you don't need a ride, I'll just give you directions and/or my phone number. No, can't do anything before then. 2/7/2007 9:54:11 AM |

Holla at Nerdchick for more info
She's game for this, and she knows where I live, so directions to your place wouldn't be too hard to give her 2/7/2007 10:04:11 AM |

How old are your kids? Just curious since they can't pick up their own toys. 2/7/2007 5:34:49 PM |

I'm not looking for parenting critiques here - no need to be sarcastic They're 3 and 2, and like all little kids they're ADD about it and require direction. 2/7/2007 5:51:24 PM |

^Oh I'm not critiquing, just curious since it also said their eating areas needed to be cleaned, and age would dictate how much cleaning said areas required. 2/7/2007 6:05:48 PM |

A. the kids need to learn how to put up their toys, even at a young age. B. a housewife needs to learn to do her housekeeping herself. the husband isn't making money just so the wife can pay someone to do her job. 2/7/2007 8:49:46 PM |

It took you longer to type that up than it would have taken to do the work yourself. GG. 2/7/2007 8:53:18 PM |

1. They do put away their toys and I do make them clean their rooms, but they don't do it the way it needs to be done - I'm going to go with you don't have kids, so you don't know.
2. eh, fuck off, k?
3. I type lists for myself anyway, so no time lost - and I type over 80WPM so again, not much time
ANYWAY
Found someone - she's coming Monday because we don't have any overlapping free time before then. I'll BTTT this thread in the future as I get to the oh-dammit-to-hell stage again 2/7/2007 9:38:17 PM |
