I hear you. I work at home. Last Spring I found a great young woman to come for 3 hours once a week so I could really get work done. We went on a week's vacation and when I returned, she had changed her phone number with no forwarding. (Um. Yeah. I don't know what we did, either.)

And I am an expert at "warming dinner," I'm surfing instead of working RIGHT NOW, and my kids don't go to bed until 8:30 and 9. I am not sane.
