House Cleaning

Have no fear. This is not, I repeat not, about how to wrangle the dust bunnies under your bed. I don't have an answer for that. I leave a little lettuce for mine every now and again. I'm talking about my daughter's room. The one who finished college and is now embarking on her life. I'm excited for her but I'm left with the clutter that is her room. She is a pack rat. It comes from her dad who would never let me throw anything out if I asked him. Then one day I realized that half the stuff he doesn't even know is there so I simply stopped asking.

I started the project of cleaning her room. She;s not here to do it. It will always be her room to use but you know and I know that she isn't coming back here to live. Only her Dad doesn't know and even if he reads this his denial skills are those of a ninja! It isn't making me sad. In fact a tchochke free room makes me happy. You see on the occasion I will need to clean the room it will be clutter free. All the clutter will be boxed away if I could only make a dent!

So here's the uncluttered truth. I did good. My daughter has left the nest. Now with my other daughter it should be interesting. When she was itty bitty she once asked me where I was going to live when she got married. I asked her what she meant and she said "Well, I'm going to live here so where will you guys live?!" Anybody know a good realtor?
