I have a few things right now in my life that I find absolutely wonderful, yet at the same time most horrible. I just find it very funny that things your grateful for can sometimes be a double edged sword.
GRATEFUL: I'm grateful for the van getting us here with no issues at all.
CURSES: The Van HATES this lower octane gas, and lets me know so every time I drive it.
GRATEFUL: I'm grateful for the swimming pool in this hot hot heat of 113
CURSES: The kids won't do anything or talk about anything except for the pool and how long they can stay in it, and when can we hurry home so they can get back in it, and wake up at 7am so they can get in it.
GRATEFUL: I'm grateful for my new home with ALL hardwood floors, no more pushing a vacuum around.
CURSES: Its ALL hardwood floors. Your feet get all sandy and everything sticks to them, and you have to sweep and mop on a daily basis, and when the kids have been outside in the pool you sometimes have to sweep and mop on an hourly basis. (Any ideas on a great mop/broom would be AWESOME)And the dogs click and clack on the floors with their nails.
These are just a few of the things I though about today that I absolutely love and hate all at the same time. Now I know what people mean by a Love - Hate relationship.

I bet you all have some pretty sweet tans by now!
Our stake put on an 8 week organization class. And the instructor said to ALWAYS invest in good cleaning tools. Buy a LARGE microfiber sweeper and mop pads that can be washed and dryed. The lady that taught us sells some on her website. It's houseoforder.com. Go under the commercial cleaning products they have a 22 inch microfiber pole. Those things are the sweetest things you've ever seen. Or you can go to a professional janitorial store. Plan on spending at least 50 bucks for everything.
I haven't used it but we just purchased wood floors--they aren't installed yet. So I don't know how credible or reliable my suggestion is but I have heard the swiffer-sweeper really is awesome for sweeping on hardwood floors. If you try it let me know. Or wait until I purchase it and I will let you know--It will be about a month.
