Shit, now I want a cleaning person too!
Oh, if the helper vacuumed once a week and mac vacuumed once a week, that sounds good. I mean, you have two cats, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd be happy with one a month to do the shit I don't want to ever. Like dusting and wipe down sills and windows. Hell, maybe I need to get on that. After I call the gutter people, the roofers, someone to fix my slate on my front door overhang....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes, still have he two cats.
I am not sure why, but I think litter boxes and bathroom deep cleaning are too much - also anything more than vacuuming my room.

I get that. The first two are dirty and the last is personal.

Someone to just do some of the light maintenance on a regular basis will make a huge difference. Then the deep cleaning (OMG, move the freaking bed and vacuum 6 months of Devi-fur-mat up. That took 45 minutes alone!) won't be as daunting.

We have no cleaning person anymore, which is fine. But man the floors kill me.
Randomly, on Sunday there was a 400 lb black bear in my neighborhood that they have nicknamed Meatball. Like 1 block north and two blocks west.

Also, Grace's nurse does a ton of Grace things that include sorting her clothes and pulling the too small stuff, crafts with Grace, maintaining her machinery, organizing her crap (toys as well as supplies etc).

I actually don't mind vacuuming and mopping. Wish it didn't take 2 hours to do the whole house, but I do appreciate my clean and shiny floors and NO CATHAIR RHINOS TUMBLING across the carpetting. Or bedding down in them. And this time of year, it's a losing battle (cleaned this weekend, Already spotted some rolling juvie wildlife.)

I love grocery shopping! And man, we have someone come once a month and it's $125 (before tip) so $65 for every other week sounds amazing.
