She didn't like cleaning all that much, and it was only the downstairs and I paid $40. for a couple hours work. Sigh. Here in New England, the rates for cleaning ladies/gentlemen are pretty high.R.

Usually, by the time she's finished, I've earned $50-$100 doing what I love AND I have a clean house!Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481671436765876836.post-86136620430880251472013-10-09T11:16:19.781-04:002013-10-09T11:16:19.781-04:00How funny you should say that!

Barron didn't write the piece. It was written by Jared Zimmerer, who's blurb on Father's website goes thusly: "Jared Zimmerer is an author, husband and father of 4 from Denton, Texas, whose apostolate, "Strength for the Kingdom," teaches about the inherent connection between spiritual and physical fitness. Check out Jared’s website at www.jaredzimmerer.com."<br /><br />I have a seriously hard time picturing you psychotic.

I didn't sign up until Nov. 11th last year and I did my faux-Scarlet O'Hara routine: shook my fist while holding a sheet of paper and declaring "I'll NEVER sign up this late for Nanowrimo again!"R.

I'm having a hard time doing anything BUT cleaning (which can sometimes be disheartening in a house 300 or so years old...) and driving my family crazy begging them not to leave their toys out!<br />I've heard a lot about Breaking Bad--it'll be interesting to read Father Barron's take on it. But I suppose watching it had better wait until the psychotic pregnancy hormones and emotions wear off as well. :)Faith E.
