Someone to Help Me Clean and Organize

I feel like less than a woman because I can't ever seem to get on top of my housework. I guess I can make excuses, like I have a troublesome 5 year old, and a 5 month old baby, plus a new puppy, and just started online classes, along with I'm trying to learn to be a better wife to my husband etc etc. but that's just excuses. Every other woman I know can do this, why can't I? Ok enough whining. I think I need someone to come in and help me get this place clean and organized from top to bottom, front to back. Since its getting to be tax time, maybe I could use some of the money from my refund to pay to have someone come help me. I don't want just a cleaning company to come in and clean. I mean I've got clutter EVERYWHERE. We have too many clothes - and our bedroom is a neverending pile of laundry constantly. Sure I do laundry, but it never gets finished. Sure as I'll do a few loads a few more loads will accummulate and take their place. I've dedicated days to just doing laundry, but then things come up -
ok I'm doing way too much whining here I'm sorry! I do need to know if there's anyone out there - a company that does this or something maybe - to be able to do more than just come in with some cleaning products and CLEAN. I enjoy that, well sometimes when my back cooperates with me :). I need someone to help me get on top of all the mess I've got everwhere so I can GET to the dirty floors. And so we can walk in the bedroom -
and hopefully not someone who will judge me.
Anyone heard of that show about cleaning houses? Maybe I should contact them! (yea, good luck with that, right?)
HELP!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your support!! It does help so much knowing I am not the only one! I definitely put my family first - well put my kids too far first; I'm working on putting my hubby back up there on my list of priorities too! nevertheless - yea I'd shove everything in drawers, if I had a drawer that big!! I'm still gonna search around for a magic little helper. Afraid I don't know any teens in the area.

i have thought exactly the same thing! i have two kids and just started online classes but can't seem to get organized. i have decided that my husband is going to take some time off during spring break (a couple of days along with the weekend) and he is going to watch the kiddos while i can concentrate on doing nothing but organizing my piles of mess!! all the closets need to be cleaned out, and all the drawers and my laundry room and storage shed. i am using some tax refund money to get more shelving and some other things to help us get organized. if you can't find someone i would just ask people you know if they have a teenage girl that could come help you, if you tell her what to do then she should be of help and you could just pay her like $8-10 per hour. i used to do that when i was a teenager for people in my neighborhood.

I really don't have anyone to recommend but I wanted to let you know that you are not the only one and all of those women who "have it together" are probably in the same boat as the rest of us. My guess is that they shove stuff in drawers and the closet right before you come over (at least that's what I do). So don't beat yourself up, just remember to put loving your family first and keep trying your best on the rest of it. That's all we can and should do.

R.,

I think I can help you. All that you described is what I do for people. I am one of those naturally organized (read OCD, I have to admit it) people. I would love to come help you get a handle on everything.
I can give you references from previous jobs if you would like.

Send me a message and we can exchange info.

God Bless
