I am good at a lot of things house work is not one of them. I can cook, I don't mind putting in 10 hour days at a job. I am great with my son. When it come to house work i am like a fish with out water. I never know where to begin. I never seem to do enough and i always feel over whelmed. I would like to have a clean house but i can afford to pay anyone to do the house work... any suggestions?

I always know where to start, cleaning just isn't my favorite thing to do. It gets done, and it's always done well, but..well...ugh, right? Now that my kids are older we do delegate and everyone has chores to do, that makes it easier. Laundry is my big thing, there is ALWAYS laundry to do. That has to be my least favorite chore. Just start at the beginning I suppose. How I decide what to do first is what people see when they walk in the door first. So, I usually start in the kitchen, work my way to the dining room and then the living room. My upstairs is in need of a bad cleaning right now, but no one ever sees that so it's not at the top of my priority list. It's too nice out right now to worry about being inside cleaning all the time. I say if the dishes are done, counters wiped and floors swept, I'm good to go. :)

I think you can start with the laundry, put them into the washing machine, it mostly take an hour to finish, you can do tidying up and cleaning during the time. Like the stuff that being put ina wrong place, just to make it neat before you do cleaning so it makes life easier for you, then you can go check up with the washing mahcine, put the clothes into the dryer or dry where you usually dry them, then you can prepare cooking! I think it is easy :-) easier than working at a company for somebody!
