lc4...thanks! I'm laughing a bit because anytime we've hired someone to clean, they've ended up running away...LOL.
I actually baked some pies today while H stacked wood outside. He made sure to tell me how to bake the pies and I accepted his advice so ever adoringly....then did a little damsel in distress when one pie wasn't cooperating. I think he likes it when I'm more dependent and need him.
I know all about chasing housekeepers away...I have 4 kids, so only the strong survive around here! I like the damsel in distress bit...I bet your husband did, too.
Keep hanging in there; you are doing great! Have a blessed week, lc4
