I've broken down and done what many people have recommended to me. I've begun to hire someone to clean my place. Let me just say I was scared to do this.

Firstly, when rates aren't listed on a website, there's this fear that it'll be too expensive. More importantly though, I suffered from a genetic predisposition against hiring a cleaner.

That's right. I felt like if my mom could do it, why shouldn't I be able to do it? My mom also felt the same way, her mom was a stay at home (on the farm) mom, and always did the cleaning in addition to everything else. My mom felt like she should also be able to be the same way. Nevermind that in my dad, she was marrying a packrat.

So I inherited not only my dad's tendencies to keep everything, and to know where things are by memory of where I last put them, or last had them, I'm also fighting that urge from my mom's side that says I should be able to clean up everything and show that I'm an adult.

Today I admitted I need help. I made my first contact to a professional cleaner. Price wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. And who know.... I may find a new sense of relaxation in having a place that stays clean - even if I'm not the one cleaning it.
