Stuff clutter in a room if your closets are already crammed. Hire out the cleaning if that'll help.Ranniedom noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513762864468560481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036195728561192654.post-38507433757543662542010-03-23T18:56:33.701-07:002010-03-23T18:56:33.701-07:00OMG -- LOL (sorry for webspeak) -- Are you kidding...OMG -- LOL (sorry for webspeak) -- Are you kidding me -- hire, hire and hire some more. That is the only way working women can survive. Sounds like twice monthly cleaning would be good then once house is up to speed you could try monthly. And thank the lord for St. Metta! You are amazing -- don't feel bad about subbing out some of the cleaning, household stuff!

My mom always drapes a cloth over her messy spots. I'm going to a) hire some help if I cant find someone- it is as much for me as anyone, b) stuff things in closets and c) drape sheets over the laundry pile.Julie Reinhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948757609660645365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036195728561192654.post-26976738856926585462010-03-23T11:50:31.123-07:002010-03-23T11:50:31.123-07:00Hire a maid to do the cleaning.

It frees you up to do things that are more important to you and takes care of what the house looks like when the guest shows up.<br /><br />And yes, I've discovered that people actually like to see the cooking disasters as well as the successes.
