On the other hand, regardless of her rudeness, the real state of your home, might clue her into the severity of your problem.
The only way I can manage living alone is to have weekly help. If your children and husband can't absorb more of the duties, getting somone to do a major cleaning a few times a month might be an idea to consider.

After suggesting your family take on more of the duties, I read someone else's thread that reminded me how careful we have to be to not allow our family to just become our caregivers. So ignore my underlined bad advice above!
Learning to adapt, which it sounds like you're doing, is key. If you can afford an iRobot vacuum like Roomba, you might want to try one out. Downsizing your stuff and or your space certainly helps. Adapt your kitchen tools so that you can still cook, etc...
You might also want to check to see if your state has a program to provide you help a few hours a week.
