I think I'm going to work on an ad to put in the paper as a house cleaner. We desperately need money. I just have no idea what to charge and we also don't have a phone, so that could be an issue. Okay, maybe a bad idea ! :) Lil - hey that's the first time EVER I have used that! Kay, off to do more brainstorming. How much would you pay for a house cleaner who only used natural products?? $25 a week???? I have NO clue? Oh, I'd have to learn to drive the car. Hum, maybe I need a new idea???? I'll sleep on it.

ps, the car thing. I have a truly debilitating fear of learning to drive a standard. It has become something much bigger than I can fathom and the fear is so ingrained that I'm getting nauseous thinking about it. It stems from adolescent fears relating to having NO self confidence and the fact that I KNOW I'd totally panic if I stalled, especially at a light with ANY one able to see me. The other day Chip stalled (as I know all standard drivers do from time to time - logically side tells me this), and I was a mess just thinking about what he might be thinking, and then putting myself in that position, terrified. I hope someday I'll get over it, probably when we live in the middle of no where and a totally flat place where I never have to stop, ever.
again,
crazy irrational Julie!

$25/week is really low - but you'd never want for work. You should probably think about $25/hour - if it takes two hours, then you'd get $50 per client. Be really clear on your duties though - vacuuming, one load of laundry, dusting, empty dishwasher, etc. That will help you avoid people who might say that you didn't get the job done.
You might ask some friends if you can clean their house one time for free in return for a reference.
In regards to driving the car, positive thinking goes a long way. Why let yourself think about all the bad things that can happen? Why not fill your thoughts with good things - all the nice people who won't get upset with you? That the car might NEVER stall. If you think that you can't, then you can't.
