The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

I thought I could show you fun Christmas projects that I have been working on but why tempt you with fantasy when I can show you reality! This my friends is what it really looks like around my abode! How you might ask did it get this way? I'll tell you it was good yesterday and then between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7:00 am the bomb dropped.

Claire's Room. That girl will pick out one outfit for school but change her mind and try 4 on before she gets out the door! And in the meantime she feels the need to set up her friends for a tea party!

My ten year old James does not know how to close drawers or put clothes away. See pile on floor? Well neither does Claire, I don't think her drawers were closed. I can't tell you how many times I have impaled myself while walking in his room! I yell at him to close those drawers and they still remain open!

Mad dash to find note for school in this pile of school papers! There will always be paper around and I hate paper!

Notice the elves. They jumped up and out of the way. They did not want to get in the line of fire!

So glad we have a craft closet so I can close the door at least when Claire is at school. It pretty much stays open because my budding artist is constantly creating something!

Piles of Claire's toys seem to find themselves either on our bed or at the foot of the bed. I bring them upstairs and they seem to find their way back down!

Forget having the pillows set up. Pillow fights seem to always happen and even a little guitar playing!

Dishes, do they ever go away? That and laundry I tell my family just walk around naked and drink out of the milk carton and eat right out of the fridge! Don't dirty another plate! Let me just say if people were naked and eating I think our world would be skinnier. Think about that for a second. If you were out dining and you sat down next to other naked people wouldn't you just lose your appetite? I'm just saying. Sorry I digressed!

Now you might wonder if I am embarrassed about this and I would have to say no. It's life and even if I clean it today which I will, its a vicious cycle that will continue day after day! I know what it can look like and enjoy it when it does! We see so many pretty pictures around blogland but that's because people just show the good ones. I'm sure we all live this way, please say we all live this way, don't we? Ok don't tell me you don't and you'd never because we cannot be friends if I know the truth. This is me love me or not, but I'm here to stay, messy house and all! Ok off to clean, enjoy your day!
