We have all been VERY busy lately....work, football and friends...all the typical mess that leads to things getting behind. I have a plan though. There is a friend of mine that cleans houses and I am going to get her to come spend a day getting this place "caught up." I can't wait until the kids come home later and I get to tell them.....Miss Caroline is coming.
I am going to tell them that I am giving Miss Caroline garbage bags and she is going to throw away ANYTHING that isn't put away. AND....they get to pay Miss Caroline for her work! Ha ha ha ha ha!
They will either be paying for a day's work or doing it themselves....either way I don't care. I just want this place to get done!
Karen wants me to go get her makeup.....Liam has been after me to take him to get a new builfold he saw at Hibbets. I don't think either of them will be able to afford these things if they don't get busy!

My wife is here five days a week![}:)]
I am too....but I can't seem to do it all. Soooooo....ta da!
I may start a regular schedule with this lady if she is reasonable. I would much rather work more and have someone do this stuff.
I asked my wife about getting a cleaning lady to come by, like once per month, she gave me the look [:0]
Your place is EXCELLENT!!! Any cleaning lady that came there would go home crying in shame......this place gets crazy because of the three dogs, two teenagers schedules and my mess everywhere. Larry being a "pile master" doesn't help at all either!!!

You guys have a NICE place! The dogs put a lot on me...but I wouldn't know what I would do without them. They don't go to the bathroom in the house, but keeping the hair and "doggy" smell to acceptable is hard. We are all just too busy right now to keep it 100% done....ever...it seems.
Mine is coming tomorrow![:p] $60 and this place is spotless.
Mine comes on Fridays. $50 includes a trip to the grocery store.

I'm hoping that this ends up being such a good visit that I get her to help me every once in a while.....but if I can't tell a big difference this will be a one time thing.
To have someone else clean our house, the world would be coming to an end.
Indeed.
We are far from spotless. But that dog don't hunt.
NOw, grocery shopping,....

I actually like the idea of having someone come in more and more. I really do hope she does an impressive job and makes me want to keep a regular schedule. Having someone come in and do all the things I don't want to do....I don't know why I didn't do this before now? The kid's rooms is another story...that is his and her "space" so I don't think I will have Caroline tackle that. I don't plan on letting them in on that though....I think letting them panic a bit and cleaning up a bit will be fun.
Working from home makes it worse....I really think. I sit here at my computer looking at everything that needs to get done. By the time I get done with all of my "work" I need a break, but looking around at housework that I should do makes me feel like a break isn't what I should do. No big deal....in the end I'm happy with everything.
We have Merry Maids come every two weeks. I still do not understand why my wife insists we "pick up" around the house before they show up.
It's a woman thing.
A cleaning lady would run away screaming if they came into this house. Between the dogs and us doing different things this house is decorated like post-Civil War Atlanta....[:D]
Thats what I feel like right now. With football and Liam's buddies coming over on a regular basis...and me trying to clear out as many things as I can so I can take on more sales I have just been too busy!!!

We have been thinking of getting a merry maids or such to come in every other week as the old dragon is riddled with arthritis and i am not much better. Approx what do they charge for a three floor home with a basement, main floor and upstairs?.It would be dusting and mopping and vacuuming, cleaning the main sliding door windows and nothing backbreaking. I would think they are about 150.00 per cleaning so am i far off or are they more expensive or less. I would like to get a just abouts price before i call them for an estimate so what are your average prices you guys pay to have them clean?.
Hopefully Larry comes home to a clean house tonight or he may not let you cook dinner for him.[:D]
