Hiring a kid to do things around your yard or in your home?

Just recently we had a couple neighbor kids come over to help out with things that were getting out of hand…piles of wood chopped but not stacked and under cover, disarray under the carport that was driving me crazy each night that I pulled up from work, fallen sticks and leaves from a recent bout of wind, and oh my, the kitchen cabinet full of mismatched plastics that cascaded at my feet each time I was in search of a container for lunches. My brain is always ticking and looking for solutions, so when I had my ‘ah ha’ moment I acted quickly and picked up the phone to call my neighbor to see if a couple of the kids were available to help with my dilemma. Well, I’m all better now, the kids loved the gift of money, my new to-do list is building, and I’ve marked my calendar for the next project day!
Here’s the link to get information about how you can do this too, http://www.squidoo.com/Hire_a_Kid. Make sure to drop a line…stars are good too
(I currently have this lens in Home&Garden, do you think this is a good fit? I’d appreciate your feedback.)
