That's Us. A Little Highbrow. A Little Mundane.
From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):
"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."

You pay my airfare and I would be HAPPY to fly down once a week to clean your house. =)
I hear there's a lot of people of Mexican descent trying to get out of Arizona.
(That's funny, but it shouldn't be. I don't agree with what's being done there.)
I could use a cook, because I am not nearly as good at it as you and I don't enjoy it.
Amen! It's funny, because I was seriously talking about this yesterday with a friend.
Right now, I would love one too. However they would be in over their head, my house is a disaster, half of our house is still torn apart.
Me too, me too!!!
If you lived on my street, I would totally let you borrow one of my maids. Maybe even twice a week!
Yeah, they are great. I owe you a post about how great they are but I run the risk of having every reader hating me. That is the downside of having a maid, people judge so I don't talk about it much.
I wish it was more common in the US. I think the country would work much better by doing so. OH, and less women on drugs to keep mentally stable. I do love my maids!
Jill, we are considering your offer. :P
Jimmy, ditto that. I'm wondering what the fallout will be.
Em! A maid who cooks . . . now that's an idea!
Jess, great minds!
Kim, it seems like clutter breeds itself once you have kids!
R, we should start a maid co-op. When are you moving back? :P
Terah, I can't even imagine! I'd love a post about that. You do run that risk, but I think it really does base itself in jealousy. I think the US should catch on to the beauty of the concept. More jobs and less stress? Sounds like a plan to me!
