Hi, and welcome. I don't know your situation, so the following might not be appropriate for you, but teenage boys are the nation's greatest untapped source of energy (I've got a bunch of teenagers myself). They can cook and clean and do laundry. If one of them has a license, they can shop and do errands. If you're thinking of quitting work, then it might be a win-win situation to pay them to work for you: that way you keep most of your salary, you get a rest, they make money, and they learn important skills.

Like I say, this might be completely useless advice for your situation...it's working so beautifully for me this summer, though. My daughter, just out of high school, is doing the cooking and cleaning, and helping me take care of the little ones. I am working from home part-time and using the money to pay her college tuition. I'm getting a rest, and things aren't falling apart around here. What I will do when fall comes and she goes to college, I'm trying not to think about!
