Yes, life is very hard on single working males. Therefore I had to call in the reinforcements ..... Meet ... Lopita

Lopita showed up at 9 AM, and has been working non-stop since then ...

I guess I reached a conclusion that regardless of how much effort I put into the house, I just can't finish cleaning it. I tried. God knows I have. I even went ahead and got one of those little robotic vacuum cleaners (IRobor - Roomba) and still couldn't get it done. My dog tried to bite it, hump it and play tag with it. But that's about as much use I got for it. It just wasn't cleaning that well .... But at least, it kept Tara entertained

Back to Lopita. I don't think she'll be able to finish the whole house today. She seems to be very meticulous in cleaning. There are these types of people (like Monica in friends) who are compulsive cleaners. They just look for things to clean. And what a better way to fulfil that fetish while making a buck at it

Anyway, the images of slave-worker housemaids in Amman came to me. As I remember how they used to gather around and comfort each other in the children's playgrounds because they just couldn't do it anywhere else.

Being away and living freely, is far different than living in a prison, and barely make $100 a month. (some more, some less) but the majority, about a $100.

For full month of service .....

When all is said and done, Lopita will be making 1.5 as much in few hours. That's the reality of it ...

Talk about spoiled little housewives in Jordan ...!

What's that big pole to the left of the TV? Do you have a basketball board in your living room? :D

That Black thing is the fireplace as Mohannad guessed.
Why do you guys think I'm spoiled? Because I needed additional help? I have a lot of work, and my time is better spent doing other more important stuff
Besides, I'm not all that great when it comes to cleaning
