I have two chores that I would pay someone to do if given the opportunity - washing clothes and grocery shopping. It is not that either one is altogether bad, it is that they are not over the minute they are over. I have to sort the laundry back out, fold the laundry, iron the laundry & hang the laundry for 4 people (how does Heather do it - 11 kids)?. HEB - when you are finished pushing the monstrosity of a shopping cart shaped like a race car around the acre-large store with 2 children buckled in side-by-side "touching" each other for an hour, I then have to load the car, unload the car, unpack the green bags, put the groceries away all while two young hungry children who know everything I just purchased is begging for juice, crackers, goldfish, turkey sandwiches, cereal, etc. So, just wondering if you could eliminate one/ two chores from your schedule, what would it be?

I would eliminate grocery shopping and blowdrying my hair. Laundry is pretty high up there as well!
OK I would hire a babysitter for 3 hours so I could grocery shop ALL BY MYSELF....oh, to be able to leisurely drive a real cart down the aisles, ponder the pears, caress the corn, AND taste ALL the samples BY MY SELF.
Mopping
I too would agree with GET a sitter..LOL..that would be ME ;o)
I am not sure of a single CHORE i relish that is why they are called CHORES... If it didn't involve a bigger chore get the girls to "help"
Training excells teaching!!
I ABHORE!!!!!!!!!!! dishwashing..since it is STILL done manually in my home and all my "dishwashers" have moved on to their own dishes with auto-dishwashers...zup wid dat...MIMI
I am so there with you on grocery shopping! I have banned the car shaped carts, I hate pushing them they are awful! Also I have gotten to where I just shop once every two weeks because I dislike it so much. It took me about a month to get into the groove for this but now I love it. I do go to a produce market on the off week because we run out of fruits and veggies though.
I think that cleaning the bath tub would be the other thing I would love someone else to do!
Great post by the way!
I LOVE grocery shopping! Someday THAT will be my job! I will shop for others! I love HEB (without hubby and kids)
I would rather not do laundry, except for when my kiddos were babies I loved washing their cute little clothes! Now that they are bigger, not so much fun!
