"If you had asked me 10 years ago if I were the type of girl who&amp;#039;d have a household staff, I would&amp;#039;ve said, &amp;quot;Oh, hell no!&amp;quot; I was SURE if I had a baby that I&amp;#039;d be able to take care of it and keep a reasonably clean home AND get my work done on the side.  Well, fast-forward to now. I just dropped the baby off with the nanny, and I should be hunched over my computer doing work for the next nine hours or so. But before I started writing, I found myself on Craigslist, checking out the cleaning lady classifieds.  I feel totally ridiculous!  Somehow my mom managed to work 9 to 5 with TWO kids under the age of 4 and she kept the house spotless. (At least the house in my memory is spotless. Maybe I&amp;#039;m forgetting some dust bunnies?) Granted, I work more than a 40-hour week, but Rory helps with the baby a LOT. So why do the floors always need to be mopped? And when was the last time someone cleaned out the refrigerator?  Ugh.  Is it totally insane that I&amp;#039;m ready to hire a cleaning lady? Should I get my act together and try to do it myself? Or should I spend $100 every other week for some peace of mind?
