    I agree 100%. While I’m not rich enough for a maid, having someone come to clean every other week really makes my life better. Not only does it free up my time to do things I enjoy, but It just makes me sooooo happy to come home to a clean house. Yes, I could certainly do it myself, but my time is worth much more than my money to me. Besides, I never do as good a job as she does. Same with yard work. I despise it. I love having beautiful flowers and shrubbery in my yard, but I would never keep up with it, so having a gardener come to take care of that makes me very happy. That means I can enjoy my headache-free days much more, and I don’t have to stress about house or yard work not getting done on the days when I’m paralyzed with a migraine. 🙂

    Great advice! I am a single mom of 4 kids. I have a good job but almost no spare cash to speak of. I spoke to my church and they helped me get someone to clean my house once in a while. I try to have ready-to-eat meals at home for dinner for when I feel terrible. I order in take out when life gets stressful. I order my groceries online once in awhile. I hire a babysitter for a night out regularly. I have learned to accept it when people offer me some help. It has really helped me to de-stress.

    Absolutely!!! I am getting over a big migraine. Wasted a day in bed, & had to call in sick. I work 100 miles from where I live; and work the grave yard shift in a hospital 3nights per week. I’m sure that shift doesn’t help but with the extra $ on that shift I hire a housekeeper everyother week. It has been a huge burden off my shoulders & I’m a minor clean freak so one less worry for me! Do it!!!

    Thanks for your comments! This might be something to set aside a savings account for – you know, a few dollars a month. Then, when you’re in a particularly busy time and have a migraine attack, you can use the money. What do you think?
