Working moms, if you can squeeze a few hundred bucks a month from your budget... |

HIRE A WEEKLY CLEANING SERVICE!!!
I don't know why it took me so long to do this. I guess I was embarrassed at the state of my home (Chaos Central). I guess it made me feel inadequate. After all, weren't thousands of other mothers working and keeping their
homes presentable?
But last year, I finally broke down and brought in a cleaning service and I will never EVER look back. Yes, it's significant montly expenditure. I realize that. And I know many cannot possibly afford it... I spent years as a working mother who couldn't have afforded it, so I know that position too. But *IF* you can, consider it. Get over your embarrassment and feelings of inadequacy and just jump in with both feet.
It's amazing what it does. The feeling of walking into a CLEAN house after work. The way it removes stress and anxiety. The way it frees up your weekend for other things. The way you can now get some other projects done that you never could get to before.
Highly recommended. And trust me - your house isn't as bad as you think. Cleaning services and individuals who do this job have seen MUCH worse than what you have under your roof....
