It's almost Pesach. Which means it's that time of year when I wonder daily why we don't just burn the house down every year and move. It would be easier than cleaning and prepping. Oh especially with a toddler who walks everywhere with Cheerios or bits of cracker. Chametz is everywhere.
Chabad has a handy dandy checklist: http://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach_cdo/aid/117150/jewish/Cleaning-Checklist.htm .
Aish has some good stuff too: http://www.aish.com/h/pes/l/48970611.html
I did not see mention in either place of where to find cheap yet trustworthy people to do this for me. Also, no hints of how to make your insurance company think the fire was something totally not your fault.
We *could* just go away for Pesach. By go away I mean buy an electric kettle, a hotplate, and live at the Holiday Inn. But Nick likes to point out that it's too expensive. If I start making him clean I'm sure he'll see it my way.
