Stimulating the Economy

As if I don't stimulate it enough, what with keeping Target and Starbucks in business and all.

I've been thinking that I really need to do more to stimulate the economy. And since I've already planned a New Year's resolution of being super-organized-mom-with-rock-hard-abs (don't laugh) in 2010, I thought that hiring a maid would be a great idea to do my part and help everyone.

This idea came to me in a dream sequence yesterday as I was on all fours scrubbing places in my kitchen (that nobody will ever see.) Domestic goddess, I AM NOT, 100% guaranteed. As I pulled my crotchety old ass up off the floor and could barely move, I decided it was time to do my part. Surely, there is more to life than scrubbing floors? Then I thought, maybe I'll just hire someone to scrub the floors. But really, since they would be here anyway, I might as well make it worth their while, right? On my list of housework duties that I don't enjoy: pretty much everything. And for a nominal fee, I can have someone come do all of these things on a regular basis. I'm am putting off scrubbing the toilet while I wait for Merry Maids to arrive as I type this.

Now, to convince my dear, dear Hubby that this is a necessity for the greater good of our country. I mean, we already have a pool guy and he's interested in getting a gardener so is this THAT far fetched? I think it's gonna be a hard sell though since we're a one-income unit now. Crap.

Ends dream sequence and gets big ass, industrial strength rubber gloves on to scrub toilet.
