However, on the days when there is not enough of me to go around or I am sick/taking care of sick kids, I'm thinking it would be nice to have a partner or worker or something. We still live paycheck-to-paycheck and metal load-to-metal load, so it would be really hard financially to have one, though. Any thoughts, ideas? Thanks guys! This site has been invaluable to me and I'm eternally grateful for all your advice, knowledge and friendship!
You might consider using one of those personal assistant or concierge services that people have where they do a single task for a set amount of money (such as a pick up) if it would work out to be worth it for you financially. Many of those type of people are self-employed as businesses and have an interest in behaving professionally. If you work with one regularly, you might be able to get a better rate or even run a monthly tab. It would cut out a lot of the hassle of having a partner or an employee. Make sure they carry insurance, in case something they are hauling for you falls off the back of the truck and takes out someone's windshield!
