5) No sheets on the bed.
You're getting hot! Yes!!!! Ding! Ding! Ding! It's 8 year old Daughter's Room!!!! You don't get a prize, but I get to help her clean it up!!!!
Okay, yes, I'm being a mean Mommy. But holy cow, the child is a slob, plain and simple. She could care less. It makes me insane. But this, I know, is my payback from when I was a child. For alas, I was a pig as well. Just wait my darling Daughter. Just wait.
On to other matters. We are all home today awaiting the arrival of Hanna. Husband batoned down the boats and yard last night. I put away all yard toys and moved my potted plants up on the porchs. I don't expect flooding, but you never know. The worst of it for us will be from about 4:00pm this afternoon until just past midnight. Forecast is calling for sustained 40 mph winds with gusts to 60. In any case, it makes for the perfect day to clean, do laundry, cook something good, watch TV and just hang out. Be good AND safe out there.
Be safe with Hanna.
Your daughter sounds like mine. I hate going into her room because god
knows how sentient some of that trash has become.
That sounds all too familiar from days gone by! Miracles do happen
though! The first time I visited my daughters first dwelling away from
home I was greated at the door with, "Take your shoes off mom" Say What?
Her room sounds like my house if we don't stay on top of the two little
demon mess makers! Just remember, cleanliness is next to boringness! Or
something like that.
"cleanliness is next to boringness"....
She's so . . . . . . . .normal. Did mine just mature or did the Navy mold
them into neatniks? We may never know.
