How A CrazedMommy Cleans Her Child’s Room

(On a SUNDAY, no less!!)

Step 1: Tell children it’s time to clean their rooms. Watch kids scatter.

Why YES, my children live in self-imposed squalor!

Step 2: Make children pick stuff up. Put earplugs in ears so as not to hear the whining.

Photographic evidence that in fact my kids have TOO MUCH STUFF!

Step 3: Leave room. Close door and hope they don’t kill each other while you mix cocktails. (Hey, it’s 5 O’Clock SOMEWHERE!) Notice out of corner of your eye small child make a break for it.

Mount Laundry. Guess what the kids are doing tomorrow?

Step 4: Check back a bit later (after a quick nap and a shower) and see this:

Hey, it meets fire codes!

Step 5: Notice that there is a clear path from the door to the bed. Realize that this is all I’m going to get from them today. Decide that this will do… …for now. Commence nap on sofa. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Celebrate with a cocktail. (or an iced tea. Whatever.)
