[tri-med] Re: Husband for hire?

We already tried that and it didn't work out too well for Annette.  Or him for 
that matter.  I think he was about to have a nervous breakdown.  When I came 
home from work, I never knew where my older son was.  Can you imagine that 
happening now, especially with our son being 13?

Heck, I'd let him care for your child and *I'd* go get the job... how nice
to have a full time nurse.
And how nice to put on some makeup and go talk to adults.   (I love my job).
