We have a cleaning lady who comes in once a week. She charges $10 an hour, and I have her for two hours. Of course, she's been on vacation since early April. She should be back now, but I haven't heard from her. I'm terrified that she's permanently gone.

I would love having people help us with yardwork and tasks that need to be done around the house. Sadly, that time seems not to be there, especially given that I can't help with those jobs. (I have the impression that, if I were doing a project and asked for specific assistance at specific times, I'd get more help. Maybe.)
