What was hard was giving up my live in maid 5 days a week. My daughter said, do we really need somebody? So I cut back, and just hired somebody for two days. And you know, it kind of brought the family back together. We cook together more as a family. Normally when the housekeeper was there cooking for us, my husband would be off with the paper and I would be on the phone with my friends and the kids were doing homework. I do have the woman make one extra dinner for us though, and one or two nights we do order in, and a lot of times we will go out.
