OP I hope you’re paying yourself at least what you would’ve paid the cleaning lady today. Or bribe yourself with double the going rate.

I finally bought myself the afikomen I asked for in honor of Sukkos so I'm really excited about using it IYH and makes me feel treated. (Note how many contradictions are in this statement Wink )

Going to my storage spot to get out the noy sukkah.
After that I want to wash the master bathroom so I don't have to worry about an unknown cleaning lady working in my bedroom.

My cleaning lady for tomorrow (professional agency, and no one stole her) also cancelled.
I got advance warning which is nice but the extra work still has to be done.

You’re doing amazing OP!!!

Quoting myself here to update on this.

Number one - check. I also covered in contact paper two sukkah stars DC just made so that we can hang them.
Number two- I started cleaning and then the blessed lady arrived, so of course I handed her all the cleaning supplies and led her to the guest bathroom. Y'gotta know how to prioritize right? So she cleaned the guest bathroom, is putting on the washed linen in the bedroom and washing the floor there.

In the meantime, I got my kids to clean the playroom while I oversaw the process (and bent down way too many times for my pregnant body but oh well). Now that everything is cleared away I can have the lady mop the floor there. Hopefully she won't work too slowly so that we can then move to the more main living areas. Will keep you posted!

Sure! Maybe you can post in a different color so that it's immediately obvious which one of us it is? Good luck to you and happy cleaning!

Didn’t read through all the posts so maybe someone already mentioned: instaCln - a new service offering cleaning help @ $25/hr minimum 3 hours and not more than 2 days in advance! So it’s meant for people like you who are stuck

Not mine. A neighbor's. She was supposed to be here for 2.5 hours but she came 20 minutes late, so I'll take whatever I can get.

And now for the update:

Cleaning lady is still mopping the playroom.

DC came back to finish polishing the silver. Now my silver is no longer gold, so I buffed it after to give it that nice shine.

I cleared up and then swept the hallway to the guest room and the main room right near it for the cleaning lady to hopefully mop. Now at least I can be calm that my guests' area will be done.

OP, I’m 35 weeks and although I get very into sukka decorating every year, this year I told my kids it’s all theirs (not sure if you mentioned your kids’ ages so don’t know if they’re old enough). No idea how it will look, but that’s how we delegate Smile

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and buying nearly everything. I used to be a martyr and fall off my feet cooking and baking. Those days are over.
