Cleaning...
I've always been a proponent of hiring others to do the work you don't want to do. Occasionally, I decide that it's not financially worth it... so I cancel the cleaners, and we try to maintain the house ourselves. After about 3 months, I just had the cleaners out again. In an hour and a half, they scrubbed the house. There is still plenty to do, but it seems much more manageable now that the base level cleanliness is so much higher. I firmly believe that many a marriage & relationship could be saved if the issue of who cleans up after whom were eliminated.
I'm looking forward to messing up my nice clean house tomorrow with guests.

[which reminds me that I should see about getting the cleaners through before the baggage finally arrives...]
My only guilt point about it now is trying to find a company that's owned by the people that work for it, and makes an effort to use ecologically friendly cleaning products, having spent a summer working as a housecleaner.
