Cleaning Lady

So yesterday I had MerryMaids out to give me an estimate. And those of you reading this who know me well enough are laughing because you know that I was cleaning like mad before the cleaning lady got here. I was really rather shocked at the cost...and a good shocked at that! To have them do my kitchen, living room, family room, master bedroom, Miss M's room, Miss M's bathroom, and the master bathroom, the hallway upstairs, and all the stairs in the house ( I am not having them do my craft room, or the rooms in the basement.) is going to be $130 every four weeks. I am seriously considering doing it! Let's figure this out.....if I spend three hours everyday cleaning, (and still don't get to everything they would do once a month) that's about 21 hours a week, and 84 hours every four weeks. But if by having them come out once every four weeks I could cut that back to let's just say 42 hours by doing maintenance type cleaning. That is 42 more hours spent with my family or on my hobbies.....looking more tempting......now if I could only convince Hero it is just as tempting.
