Living In The Eye Of The Storm

I have a favorite quote by Phyllis Diller. "Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing ." At my house, its a constant blizzard.

We have a playroom that looks like a scene from the show Hoarders. The other day Nadia came into the living room very excited. "Mommy! I cleaned the play room! Can I get candy?"

Of course I was thrilled and hurried behind Nadia to the play room to see the great job she had done. As we near the open door, Nadia steps inside and proceeds to climb over a pile of toys so that she can make her way to small clearing in the middle of the room.


"See mommy? I cleaned this spot! So I get candy right?" I told her if she stood there and pointed to the spot for the picture, we could work something out.

There are certain things I hate in my house. Crayons. Anything with beads. Playdough.


Damn you Playdough. Damn you to hell.


If you think cleaning up these messes is tiring, you should try making them. Totally exhausting.


 Of course my favorite messes take place in the bathroom.

Of course the toilet paper is just the white- red flag that there's something even better in the toilet waiting for you. Not poop of course! They wouldn't dream about putting poop in a toilet. No, its probably just your make-up bag or car keys. Relax.
