Housekeeping help

I thought I would have no problem keeping this little beach house clean and presentable. After all, I live and work here so one would not expect it to be much of a challenge. In that case, one would be wrong. It is a challenge...and a big one. I have two dogs that leave a trail of hair, mud, dust and food everywhere they go. I can only do a little laundry at a time because we are so near sea level, the water table is high enough to serve dinner on. I think I can multitask and I suppose I can but I tend to forget which tasks I'm multi-ing.......of course that could be age. In any event, it was running away from me. So today, I hired the services of a housekeeper to come and put things back in order. She did an outstanding job and I can now spend my time looking for things in places I would never consider putting them.
