(I was pretty sure he'd never read Mill on the Floss.) <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we could join with some travelers in Ireland. I said "we," didn't I?

Days when if a traveling circus came to town and was accepting job applications, we'd pack our toothbrush and quietly say "don't mind if I do".<BR/><BR/>I think you have a particularly hard time of it, though, with this indefinite holding down of the fort. Is taking a vacation an option? I don't remember whether The Bean is high school age or college age, but if it's the latter, surely he can make sure the cats are wound and the milk bottles are put out on the stoop. For awhile, at least. Let the grass grow high. The neighbors will appreciate you all the more when you return.Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-36251424314902956482008-06-10T10:59:00.000-04:002008-06-10T10:59:00.000-04:00Oh, Golly Miss Molly (sorry!)

There's pros and cons to either situation -- which causes more pain -- spiders and sparkplugs or supervising and complaining???

And besides all the stuff they do so you don't have to do it when they're home, you have to miss the dirty socks and "what's for dinner" that indicates there's a man in the house. Sorry it's been a bad week - I say hire a yard man!
