Re: :::POLL::: Name 3 things you wish you had to make your life easier
1. A wife.
2. Shorter commute
3. Personal trainer
Family closer...it would at least make me happier!
A house cleaner...working on that...last one didn't show up the day she was suppose to start and I had company coming the next day...
Tequila
1. A cleaning service that also does laundry.
2. As much as I love not having family close by, with another one on the way I'm starting to wish they were closer.
3. A cook.
1- A chef would be nice but I would be happy with some sort of food service.
2- A good cleaning service that does not charge an arm and a leg.
3- A new second car.
A maid
A shorter commute!
3 extra hours in the day to workout, walk the dog, catch up on my DVR, take a nap and get a pedicure. . . or whatever.
1. A housekeeper that comes daily, cleans and organizes everything and prepares all meals
2. A larger home. Not too much into huge homes too much but a little more space would make things easier (currently urban dweller living in 2 br apt)
3. Family close by. Family is about 70 miles away... makes weekends and holidays hectic at times.
1. A personal chef who would also do all the grocery shopping.
2. A shorter commute.
3. Two hairless non-shedding dogs (in lieu of the two shedding ones I already have)
1. Enough money to at least pay off our house and my student loans:o)
2. A maid.
3. A personal chef and/or exercise nazi.
1. Live in Chef
2. Live in Nanny
3. The money to facilitate the first 2.
1. Sleep. DD is killing me slowly with night wakings.
2. New clothes for work. I hate everything in my closet right now.
3. A consistent workout plan. My own fault, but I have not stuck with anything and I feel so much better when I do.
1 - a cook
2 - a maid
3 - my own personal massage therapist...
I have basically everything else that I need
1. Millions of dollars- yep I said it, more money would make my life better right now.
2. A big house
3. live in nanny
note that #2 and #3 could be acquired by just having #1.
seriously though a live in housekeeper/nanny for life would be grand.

A clone or two
A few more hours in each day
A winning lottery ticket. Our new home killed my sense of financial security.

3.1 A million bucks!
1. a stylist
2. a clone of myself
3. money
1. A nanny

3. A schedule
1. DITTO on the shorter commute. Or a helicopter would also work.

3. One extra day in the week where I didn't have to work and had childcare.
#1 a personal assistant
#2 a cleaner (I'd have one now if only I had #1)
#3 more hours in the day
1. a playroom for the toys and for a completely safe, confined area for my active toddler.
2. An au pair to do some housecleaning while I'm at work and to watch the baby for the odd hour here or there when I want to go out for a jog/go to the gym/run an errand alone.
3. Family nearby.

2. family that lives close by
3. a housekeeper
1) more money
2) a house keeper
3) a personal chef
2) housekeeper that cleans and cooks for us
3) more money
1) Family nearby

My twins are 5! My baby is 3!
DS#2 - Allergic to Cashew, Pistachio, Kiwi
DS#3 - Allergic to Milk, Egg, Peanut, Tree Nuts and Sesame
Hmm, in terms of making my life easier...
1. A Honda CRV- my tiny little Civic is SO not cutting it anymore when it comes to toting baby paraphanalia.
2. A regular Saturday night babysitter that didn't expect $15-$20 an hour...this is why DH and I have either taken LO with us most Saturday nights (she's really easy) or had one of our parents watch her if aplace was completely not kid friendly. It would be really nice to have a reliable, call any weekend kind of sitter, but I refuse to pay someone $15 an hour because that literally tacks like $60 onto your evening if you want to do even something simple like dinner and a movie.
Or, in the alternative...
3. A lot more money than we currently make so I dont care about the extra $60 being tacked onto a Saturday night out, lol!
1. more money
2. a few extra hours in my day
3. personal trainer at my disposal
