To scrub or not to scrub, that is the question

It's two weeks to go before mum's 80th birthday and there are lots of things more to do. I have been waking up very early one week now. This morning I woke up at 4:30. Tossed in bed for one hour and decided to rise up a 5:30. I did some singing and praying to the Lord but I can't say it's quality time as my head was full of so many things. The design for the children's dresses, the walls I have to soap and scrub. Should I scrub or should I sew dresses first. If I scrub all these walls I'm afraid I might develop a frozen shoulder. This happened to me before. If my shoulder gets frozen, how can I sew the dresses. If I hire my sister's househelp to do the scrubbing there will be soap and dirt all over the house and the dresses I am sewing will get dirty. Besides I'm really not good at giving instructions and supervising a househelp. And the dining chairs I have to upholster. Arrrgh! And mum's being fidgety already. :(
