School's Back and So Is The Mess!




School is back in session and boy does it look like Tornado Central around here! How does everyone {Mrs. Smith :)}keep their home in order, finish school and everything else? Do tell? If I go work out, which I did today.. it's all over! The homestead falls apart. So we try and try again. Some days you can visit a sparkly clean abode, other days bring your broom; you can make a path to the table!

When we are old and grey and our homes are neatly in order, we will have difficulty recalling "the mess". Somehow that helped me tolerate it a little better. :)

Actually, it's an optical illusion that some of us "APPEAR" to keep order amidst the chaos of daily life!

I am convinced that I will be picking up multiple pairs of Miss Millie's shoes each night for as long as she lives under our roof. How many pairs of shoes can one person wear in a day? LOTS! (Our girlie-girl has stated, quite emphatically, that she is NEVER moving out, so I guess nightly shoe retrieval is something I should expect to do for a l-o-n-g time!)

Seriously, we do try to keep the mess contained to a specific room. Clutter, junk, and stuff often spills over everywhere, but that's life with kids. This too shall pass -- I think. :-)
