I'm with you on the entertaining guests thing.
I was at a women's retreat once and the facilitator asked us what we wanted to "be"--what were our aspirations. So I said I wanted to be a good housekeeper, but I'm terrible at it. Her response was, "Do you want your house to be well-kept or do you want to be a good housekeeper"--I thought that was brilliant. Yet, I still haven't succumbed to getting cleaning help--I struggle through on an as-needed basis.
