Wow do I feel out of the look. I am overwhelmed. That is funny. You sound like the boss from the Devil Wear Prada.

Stu Pidasso said...

Four boys?!?! I'lll bet you do need a persoanl assitant. HMIC's helpmate may need one too! Unfortunately I am already employed as such and they keep the keys to the chains hidden very, very well.

Thanks for popping in.

Cheers.

Donna said...

Great classified ad and I can just picture all of the activities required. This took careful and thought provoking planning. I would apply but I need life insurance and health benefits from anklebiters and numskulls. Also I require paid vacations to give time to return to sanity, and retirement benefits if I survive the employment.

Corrie Howe said...

Can I use this as a model for my own classified ad?

I love the comment above mine, looking for boy advice. I have to tell her that the girl will pick on the boy, I know from personal experience.
