I hired a local woman, and she is here now. Vacuuming away, dusting, and mopping floors. I originally hired out to get someone to do the heavy stuff, and hard work like floor scrubbing, but fell in love, and have her coming back once a week now. I love Friday! my house is clean for the weekend. woo!

Cleaning is HARD work! its so satisfying but hard. I simply cant do it anymore. I used to be a clean freak, and every corner was clean, but now...just cant keep up.
