Misty: Please go ahead and try a cleaning person, at least for a couple of months. I had a variety of folks clean my house when I was working fulltime. None of them were perfect, but at least all of the bathrooms were clean at the same time, the kitchen floor was clean, and the carpets were all vacuumed. And, the evening before cleaning day, there was lots of energy to pick up the clutter! Try it, you might like it!
