How many clones do
YOU need? I often feel like I never have enough time to do the things I
want, without sacrificing the things I
need to do. Here's my wish list for the Clone Fairy (whom I picture to be as a rather tall, cigar-smoking, middle-aged balding man with a beer belly, for some reason).
- A Cleaning Clone - For only four people, we go through a lot of dishes. And don't even get me started on Mount Laundry.
- A Cooking Clone - So I can live up to BigGuy's memories of three square meals served daily. All complete with sides of freshly picked vegetables, of course.
- A Business Owner Clone - So much of my day is taken up with editing and other work that I need to do. I love doing it, but would love to spend time with the kids as well!
- A Secretary Clone - To take care of the details... mailing bills, pickup and drop-off at school, shipping finished products, returning phone calls and emails, bringing snacks for school, etc.
- A Minor Emergency Fixer Clone - For all of the "Mommy I bumped my chin on the pillow!" and "She's
TOUCHING me!" crises.
- A Wife Clone - I think we all know what this one's for.
- A Catching Up on the DVR Clone - Why do I always record way more than I can ever watch?
- A Snuggling Clone - Because Squish is at that age where 98% of her ideal day is spent snuggling on the couch watching TV. Unfortunately this doesn't allow me to get much else done.
- A Facebook/Chatboard/Blog Updating Clone - A favorite past-time, to be sure... but also a huge time-suck. Even after I've let all my farms go to seed.
Ok... what did I miss?
