Well today as I look down the hall and see the bedroom that the 3 boys share. I wonder where they heck they get all that crap! I will be entering into the dark dirty room and doing what they boys call "momma clean" which means mom goes through clothes, toys and whatever else is in there and get rid of trash bags full of stuff. Like clothes that dont fit anymore will go to GCAM, broken toys thrown away etc!
I try to do this once or twice a year while they are all gone so they dont see what all is disappearing. hehehehehe
I always hope that maybe just this once they will see how it looks to be nice and organized and keep it that way but usually doesnt stay like that for long. Although I do have hope it will stay clean since they will be gone for most of the summer!
I do wonder though do their lives reflect such dirty room? Does their school work? Does their minds get all cluttered because their rooms are that way too? I know we go to Church and do Scout stuff to keep us "clean" with His word, to keep them busy with Scouts to keep them "clean" in things to do outside of the house. To build their skills as boys growing into men.
So why cant they keep their rooms clean? I know they get it from me, I am not one to be bothered with a clean house, I am a pretty cluttered person. They used to tease me when I was a teacher assistant that my desk was horrid but I knew what was on my desk and could always find what I was looking for at anytime. Its a skill that I have to work one everyday. I did marry a guy who knows I am this way but loves me anyway however I am getting better and I do throw out alot more that I used to.
So wish me luck! I better get started because if I don't it just wont get done! J
To the world, you are one person, to one person, you are the world!
