Actually, she likes to hide my shoes. ..she may be trying to teach me to
levitate, but it ain't gonna work. One of my greatest joys is playing
'Where'd She Put It?' after she's gone for the day. She has the most
unique sense of where things should go - but to have a super-clean bathroom
floor/shower/tub/kitchen is worth almost any price.

...for whomever said they couldn't quite bring themselves to having someone
help with their little sty, a good house-helper will NOT mind! They like
seeing the clear path they leave and the look on your face when you see it
clean for the first time in forever, is priceless to them (but yes, you'll
still have to fork over some green.) When Imelda first came to me, she
quoted me a price over the phone, but after she walked around and checked
the house out, that price raised itself considerably. All raise their
voices in praise! Imelda Be Praised! >>

Our Cleaning Goddess is Rose. She comes every two weeks, When we do home
repairs (like when we put in the new kitchen floor), we excitedly think about
what Rose's response will be. We know at least every two weeks the house will
be clean and smell great.

We also have things go to mysterious places. One of the most amusing things
she does is artfully cover our piles of crap (We call them Crap Mountains)
with throws. Makes them look much better.

Crap Mountains?! Yeah! This got a big laugh out of me.

I'm enjoying this thread in a vicarious sort of way, being amongst those
who have not enough green to appease the Cleaning Goddess nor enough
organization/motivation/time to enjoy a clutter-free abode. Oh well, I
wonder if I have what it takes to artfully cover the Crap Mountains in my
own home.
