Do you want to work in a casual work environment with friendly people?!?!
We're currently hiring the following full-time positions:
Chef
Must be willing to ominipotently know about my husband's disdain for things such as cilantro and "old lady food." Duties will include breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks, keeping kitchen tidy, putting away dishes in the dishwasher due to the employer's irritation at having to do this task.
Housekeeper
Duties to include scrubbing (especially the bathrooms as they haven't been really cleaned in ages), dusting, vacuuming, baseboards, cobwebs, sweeping, mopping (the need here is DESPERATE). Most important duty will be to keep the dog hair soiling to a minimum, which will require removal of said dog hair several times per day from all surfaces of the house.
Dog Caretaker
Must be willing to care for two drooling, smelly, lumpy adorable, sweet-natured basset hounds. Duties include (but are certainly not limited to) letting the dogs in and out several times per day, walking the dogs, bathing the dogs when they've rolled in something dead, clipping their toenails, and keeping their ears clean (inside and out).
Laundress
Duties will include at least one load per day. Must be willing to wash the employer's ONE PAIR of jeans whenever they are soiled by peanut butter hands or spit up. Stain removal skills are a plus.
Accountant
Must be willing to explain every single purchase made on Debit card and explain reason for going over the grocery budget. Duties will also include sitting in line at the bank to deposit ENORMOUS checks from BlogHer ads, reconciling the checkbook, making budget, paying bills, and filing tax returns.
Errand Boy
This is a very important position. Must be willing to run to the grocery store without notice, make beer runs, take vehicles for scheduled maintenances, and any other piddly errands as deemed URGENT! AND NECESSARY! by employer. Hot, muscular body, bedroom eyes and a dashing smile a plus! Shirt NOT required.
Lawn Boy
Must have extensive knowledge in flowers, shrubs, and grasses and the ability to make things grow in sandy, nutrient-depleted soil. Again, a hot, muscular body, bedroom eyes and a dashing smile are a DEFINITE plus! Shirt is also NOT required.
Scientist specializing in cloning
Must have the ability to clone the employer (Jennifer) so that she can be relieved of some of her duties and have time for blogging the children. Cloned Jennifer will be responsible for making doctor's appointments, remembering birthdays, making certain the diaper bag actually contains, you know, diapers, shopping for pants and shirts that actually fit the REAL Jennifer and not tell her what size they are, and wifely duties *ahem*.
Salary is very competitive and commensurate with what the finest SAHM's are being paid!!!!
Apply today!!!!


38 People are even more brilliant:
didn't i read somewhere that SAHMS make, what? $135,000 a year?
well, i feel i'm a qualified candidate for this job, as you have said nothing about taking care of the kids.
i've been practicing my housewifery skills, and i think i have perfected them to the point that it's just TIME to move on.
please feel free to schedule an interview at my blog:
idroppedmybonbon.blogspot.com
thank you very much for this opportunity!
oh, yes- did i mention i'm not a hot guy? er, well, i guess if compensations is as before discussed, i'm sure The Mr. would like to sign up for those duties.
Can I just tell you how much you rock? I pretty much decided I'm not performing any of those duties...well, at all until Pup decides to get me a maid. I've been waiting nearly nine years, but darn if I'm caving in here. I mean, I ask for so little. Money to spend freely, some time to hit the spa, and a maid. That's it. WHAT A GREAT POST JEN!
Oh My gosh!! I love this!! I need to come up with one of these myself!! You are too funny!!
LOL! This was great :)
Wow. I really only have one pair of jean capris. I thought I was the only one who wore the same pants over and over....
Not looking forward to the colder weather,
Fellow mom/blogger!
LOL
And what does Tate have to say about your turning your wifely duties over to a mere clone?
I’m qualified to be both your errand guy and your lawn guy, and I’ll even add pool guy if you have one at no extra cost, but you’d probably want this old dude to keep his shirt on (in addition to his pants.
Why does my :-) change to a question mark when I post a comment?
When you make your choice of employee(s), please send the rest of the applicants to my house so I may interview them as well.
And for Goodness sakes go get another pair of jeans. ;-) I finally TOLD my husband I was gonna go get jeans even if I had to put them on a credit card...
when you find some of those, send em over here, will ya?
OK, let me get this straight. You want an "errand boy" and a "lawn boy," each with "hot, muscular body, bedroom eyes..." and shirt is "NOT required"...
and then you want your clone to handle "wifely" duties??!?!?!?!?
Hmmmm...
Chu SO funny!
You know, Bite My Cookie has her own wife to take care of all this stuff??? How awesome is that? Unfortunately, even if I went back to work, I don't think we could afford one. Gotta keep plowing away....
Good luck with the search. :)
And you have an award at my place today. ;)
The best part is the final line.
Don & RWA- No no no--the hot muscular bedroom-eyed employee must also be able to MANUFACTURE a clone of Jennifer to handle the wifely duties. He must be a "scientist specializing in cloning," you see.
Ahem, I think I already have all of these jobs! When you figare out how to get your hubby to agree to this let me know so I can try it on mine!! I really want the lawn boy and the errand boy!! Send over any left over applicants, PLEASE!!!!
BWahahahaha!
Sorry, but if I find a lawn boy who fits that description, I'm sharing him with NO ONE!
Jane, Pinks & Blues
This post reminds me of a fight D and I had this past weekend. He was throwing in my face a list of all the shit he'd done that day (you know, things I'd been asking him to do for the past 6 months) and wanted to know when was the last time I made a list of things to do to help him.
Yeah, that list would look an awful lot like your post, the things I do EVERY SINGLE DAY, the things everyone takes for granted.
Great post!
I am looking for a new career! I'll take anything, as long as it means I don't have to take all of the available positions, okay? Please? How soon can I start?
Let me know if this works for you because I would love to find someone to help out around my house for the pay of hugs and kisses.
Maybe being single and childless is th way to go. Just kidding, I swear.
Good luck finding your stud...I mean housewife.
I thought I was the only one who only had one pair of jeans/shorts that fit. ha!
To make you feel better..as well as some other commenters...I only have one pair of jeans that fit right now too. Grr.
Umm, I'd apply, but I'm already performing too many duties at my current SAHM gig. So, guess I'll have to pass. But if you do find someone, let me know where to look.
Once again, you crack me up.
My one pair of pants don't even fit that well, but I refuse to buy more into I look better.
Denial? You have a call holding on line 2.
Oooh! And when you find this person please ask if they have a sister/brother/friend and if they are willing to work for FREE. (Because really, it's not as if they'd be WORKING just STAYING at HOME...)
I think I'll just take the clone!
Does the errand boy, say, rub feet too?
I'm qualified for most of these jobs, I think, but I don't think my present employer will let me leave. They would be very upset if I didn't complete my contract of service.
Mind if I cut and paste this post over at my blog?
I am applying for all positions. I think that I would do well with this because I am absolute crap with it at my house so I have to be better doing it elsewhere...right?
humm i thought we all had kids to raise them love then and then make them do the dishes I will take the clone with no t shirt!!! I don't have a law, but he can clean my 8x8 patio HA HA!!
If you have too many qualified candidates, SEND THEM MY WAY!
And tag, lady, you're it!

I think I'm only qualified for the dogs . . .
You're hysterical! Sorry I can't help you out as I too am advertising for these very positions. If you find too many qualified candidates (particularly in the housekeeper and chef categories) please send them my way.
hmmm, if you find anyone who can do all that for nothing, let me know...oh wait, I do all that for nothing... but I'm not sure I do a very good job. I'm pretty half arsed about it all these days.
I was kind of hoping that with seven kids, they'd take up the task of household running and I could sit back and be a princess...yeah, RIGHT. Who am I kidding?
Ohh good luck, maybe i should love for a british version :)
Have you considered polygamy? Some days I think that if I could be the head wife and boss another wife around that all my problems could be solved.
if you have more than one applicant, could you PLEASE send me their names???
