Also, I have hired a cleaning crew before. It's a husband and wife and they are FANTASTIC AND SO TRUSTWORTHY! They are affordable and highly recommended. They charge $75.00 for basic standard home. They are like my fairy god parents when I am in over my head and can't do no more.
Here is a deep secret. My difficult child room use to get messy and filthy. Just total chaos. I know there was some weed pipes and even used condoms from her and her boyfriend for crying out loud and I just couldn't bring myself to clean it and it had to be clean because I rent my condo and that room was becoming destroyed. I asked my fantastic cleaning lady if she would help me (I was so embarrassed but down in the dumps and lethargic and needed so much help). So she did it, and when I came home there was a note in my kitchen with 2 beer bottles, some weed and a pipe and the note said "I found these in her room". * Cringe* I walk into my daughters room...
and the magic this lady did was impeccable and matched by none. My daughters room was sparkling from ceiling to floor, from wall to wall. She folded all my daughters clothes, hung them up, put them in drawers. And she even hung up some of her art work in such a beautiful way! (My daughter is a very talented artist) As I am looking around, I notice one little note on a perfectly polished and cleaned wooden night stand , and I went to go pick it up. It was an OLD letter that I wrote to my difficult child about how beautiful she was and that she was so much better than what she was choosing to do. It was a letter that came straight for my heart. Apparently, my cleaning lady found it while cleaning (she probably read it which I did not mind in the least) and laid it right next to difficult child's bed on the wooden tabled so difficult child would see it. I literally cried. Of all people, a cleaning lady is who gave me my most and only relief during my difficult child teen years.
