#1 Maid
Yesterday I decided that what I really wanted was for a maid to come clean my house. So I left a list of everything I wanted her to do on the counter, along with a $5 bill and a note that it was for coffee after she was finished, and I walked out of the house....
...and came around by the front door and let myself in and started working.
It may seem silly, but it got the work done! Maids, after all, do not stop every fifteen minutes to check their e-mail (and then end up getting hung up on the computer for the next hour!). Maids do not stop to read stray books and magazines. No, maids get to work and work.
My house is clean as a whistle, and after
Obviously I work for cheap. Anyone want a maid for the day? I only charge $5! ;-)

After the week I had, I needed to laugh. Thanks to you, I got my laugh.
And if I was still in Michigan or you was in Texas, I would give you a call lol
Have a great day.
What a cute and clever idea! I know that I personally would do a great deal for a cup of vanilla cinnamon coffee... ;)
Terrific idea! I will have to try it some time :)
What a great idea! You get the five dollars AND someone comes in and cleans your house for you while you work! ~wink~ I think it's a good deal all around!
Sometimes it's all about psyching ourselves up for the task at hand, isn't it! I say if it works ... it's not silly. :o)
[And I love the fact that Kathy gave you a raise! lol ;o)]
Hmm, sounds like a good idea. I could easily be bribed with a cup of coffe :-).
How creative! Thanks for this post it made me smile. (o:
What a clever idea. And what a blessing for you... now you have a clean house and you got a treat. ;o)
Thanks for sharing this.

I've done a few "silly" things before to get myself motiviated.
If you have a magic carpet, hop on it and head down my way. I'd love to have a maid for a day...or week...or month...or year. ;)
Blessings,
