Hi, I used to have cleaning help twice a week. We were struggling financially and I stopped the cleaning help and started cleaning on my own. While working part time.
I now work very full time. I come home very late. My house is a wreck and I'm in survival mode. I'm off only Sunday. I would like cleaning help but I also need time to go through my mail that's piling up. Put away the new clothing I bought my family. My house is very not organized I dont want cleaning help. Going through my personal stuff. I'm thing maybe it would be nice to have cleaning help right after havdallah to just help clean up the kitchen from shabbos and help peel, and food prep for the week. I have two problems
1 I don't know of anyone that comes Saturday night
2. The lady will want to help with the rest of the messy house and I have to sift through it myself-(yes even shabbos we still have lots of stuff lying around. If I stuff it in a box-I know myself, I will never go through it. Shabbos I'm exhausted I don't to much then also. Any ideas?

I have cleaning help Sunday morning for 2 hours.

It's so helpful.

Don't waste energy cleaning the floors, washing dishes, etc. on MS. Leave it for the cleaning helper, and you do an hour or two of organizing on MS.

Eventually, you'll hopefully catch up and move on to maintenance mode.

Good luck!
