What I could do with is someone to point me in the right sort of general direction - i.e. seeing the 'bigger picture' that I so often miss and have written about before. My wife does some of this, of course, but not everything. Soph and Saja,

I'm imagining short little lists, but if there were forty things on it, and some of them involved phone calls and other social endeavors, well, you're right, I'd be totally overwhelmed. :-) Oh, that’s a good point!

A while back I wrote a post about how great it would be to hire someone to *manage* the household. I don't particularly need someone to do the actual cleaning and all (and they never meet my standards, anyway)--I just need someone to manage it all, you know, keep up with all the dates of things and what needs to be done, and leave me daily, prioritized to-do lists. Still wish I could get someone like that.... I know what you mean. A while back I wrote a post about how great it would be to hire someone to *manage* the household.
