I am sitting here writing while 3 ladies are in my house cleaning for us. First of all, I have never had someone come clean my house – why would I? I have time to clean, maybe not up to some people’s standards, but our house is clean enough considering we have a 14 month old running around here.
Does anyone realize how hard it is to sit here while they work? Well if you don’t, let me tell you, this is one of the hardest things I have done thus far. I feel like such a slug not helping them clean and get this, they are doing it free of charge. My good friend Angela found this website, cleaning for a reason, right when I was diagnosed. I called last week and they are here this week – cleaning our house. So, thank you Angela for finding this and sending it my way.
And for anyone out there who knows of anyone else going through chemo, or if you ever have to yourself, remember this website – www.cleaningforareason.org or ask me. This is going to be so helpful in the long run for me not to have to worry about cleaning and without worrying about it; I more than likely won’t feel guilty for not doing it. Well, I feel guilty right at this moment while they are here, but I am sure this too will pass.
I live with stage IV metastatic breast cancer that has caused 3 brain surgeries and leukemia that required a bone marrow transplant. . I like to write about life - and I don't hold back! My mission is to always remind myself and others anything is possible,

Comeing from someone who has had her head shaved.....it's shocking at first (and you'll cry and miss it) but the time you save worrying about it makes it worth the shave!! You'll be beautiful non the less!
YAY! I'm so glad that the rumor was true!
It would be weird having someone clean, but enjoy it. You can "pay it forward" when you're all better. :) We had someone clean shortly after Hayden was born, and they found dirt I didn't know was there! Who knew light fixtures needed to be cleaned?
