I do, I hired someone so I could get a break and clean and for when I have more than 6 kids. it's very helpful although it is difficult to find someone willing to work only 3 hours a week for you. I ended up with a youth worker student. I've also hired a back up for when she's not available. I was lucky and got a friend who is also a child youth worker and finishing up social work masters. So great when you aren't afraid to walk out of the room because you know everything is 'handled' . . . . .also really nice not to be alone and slow down for a few hours that day.
I really have to start reading the post through before I answer. I think this is my third post in a row . . hehe sorry guys
Caddy, I would LOVE to meet up with you. You're in the east end, yes? I am west - Junction Triangle. We could always meet somewhere in the middle on a lovely sunny day.
Oh, I wish that I had the option of just staying home some nights!!!
I have 2 boys that play hockey, a daughter in dance, and I often assist my husband with his business (which is in finances, and requires him to visit with clients and co-workers at their convenience. IE- evenings and weekends)
Hockey is just winding down right now, and I am stoked! Just in time for lacrosse to start....
Seriously though, I find that when I am feeling this way; I need to meet up with a mom friend at the park or something, even if it means taking all the dc kids with me. Just getting out and doing SOMETHING helps me feel like I am still a social being!

You have a car? We should plan a trip to Riverdale farm! Not exactly in the middle but it was an idea.
Lovely sunny days - Remember last week? It was wonderful . . . . . booooooooo to yesterday and today.
I have someone to pass on your info to ~ can you send me your contact info
It's for December 2013/January 2014 but who knows! It would be for 2, one of the little ones is currently in my care but they will be leaving for a year on mat leave.
I know we can't really determine if an opening is going to be available that far down the road but it's good to meet with them. I have found that people in this town look while they are pregnant!!
