Sorry to say the links didn't work for me. (Must be a function of the software!) Here's another attempt. http://www.neilchethik.com/newsletter-10-10.htm
I have to day that we've been reluctant to hire a housekeeper for the same reason I still mow my own lawn. I don't enjoy it much, but when it comes down to actually paying someone else, I'd rather do it myself. Has anyone else made the leap to paying for services you really don't want to do, but could? What happened?
I don't have trouble paying for things I can't do myself, but I'd really love to have someone else doing the mowing.
