It's personal
Tuesday, March 25
I'm here at work tonight clearing out a thousand emails - hint group by subject to get the reply to all f*ers out of the way quickly and I realized that I've done this to myself. I take on more and more responsibility - see gluttony posting 2 years ago that forewarns of this moment - until i'm absolutely at the breaking point.
now I just got off 5 days of vacation where the world continued to spin without me so that's part of the problem, but what it comes to is that i want to do lots of different things and instead i'm buried in the mundane. I mean the laundry pile is just one of a thousand piles in my life that need help and while the idea of bringing in a second wife sounds good on paper, i don't think i'm really up for sharing.
Instead I need to be rich. I know, didn't think I was so superficial did you. But seriously, I don't need to be stinking rich - although that would be nice. I need to be rich enough to buy all the services that I need to free myself up to do the things I want to do. The good girl in me thinks this is a ridiculous, frankly frivolous thing to be thinking about or asking for. I mean seriously, there are much better ways to handle an abundance of wealth besides my own personal ease in life. Still, i'm in an anything is possible if I put my mind to it sort of mood, so here goes here's what I need:
--Personal Maid - at the house every other day just keeping up with the daily life of shit that falls to the floor. Would also do the laundry the current one won't do and will agree to not do the kids room, because they have to learn responsibility right?
--Personal Chef - i eat like shit and if it weren't for kids there would be no food in the house. thankfully they force fruits and vegetables on us because we're not negligent parents but seriously, 10 meals a week and i'm good to go
--Personal assistant - just help keep my life and schedule straight. call the school, make dr's appts, etc. The reality is that I love organization and everything to be in its right place, p-touch labelled and organized by proper folder color. i just can't keep up with my own vision.
-- Personal trainer. i think it has to be a she because i'll be too embarrassed to talk to a well buffed guy about my goals - get rid of the is she pregnant or just fat belly is hard to say out loud.
-- Personal party planner - Little Miss is 6. 6 and 4 days old. No party planned. No invites out, nothing booked. She'll be lucky to celebrate before May. Now I'm not that bad folks, we did do a special princess diner in disney for 8 people which costs more than 20 people at chuck-e.
--Personal photographer - I take the casual ones, get them uploaded and backed up but nothing printed, scrap booked or organized. And forget the professional ones. I'm just going to have to outright lie to princess in training about her photos - she's almost 2 and only has one official one besides the goofy in hospital photo.
So that's 6 - who am I missing? And seriously, how much do you think this would run me a month? How much would you be willing to pay - I could probably swing 500 a month but i think this bill is closer to 2k. This means get an Au Pair, a foreign second wife, or suck it up, do it myself and keep working until it's possible right?
