[crash] how to help

topazAfter drafting a long-winded and vague description of what we need help with, I finally took ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pheromone's advice and set up a web site to coordinate these tasks. Thanks to Erik H. for suggesting lotsahelpinghands.com, which appears to be tailored to exactly this kind of activity.
If you have time and opportunity to come help, let me know and I'll send you an invitation to the lotsahelpinghands.com community that I set up for this. (The URL is http://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/11181/ but it appears that I've got to invite you before you can sign into it.) I've created open tasks for the things that we need most right away (childcare and meals). I'll add other tasks, like helping me organize the house, as soon as I figure out how to explain to people what needs to be done. :-)
It feels incredibly hard for me to ask for help. Thank you all for making it possible for me.

Date: 2006-06-26 10:32 am (UTC)I can appreciate how hard it is to ask for help. I remember being there when the twins were newborns. But, you know, it all comes around... we help you now, you help someone else (maybe us) later, etc... It's what community and friends are about.

Date: 2006-06-27 02:41 pm (UTC)I am available most days to do stuff I can do with my kids tagging along. As for times when Frank is available to help/kid wrangle, some evenings we have free (meetings take up many, but usually at least one night a week we have free (this week being an exception)). Weekends are BAD.
Anyway, send me an invite and we'll try really hard to help out.
