Hungover

I am currently fighting the urge to vacuum.

I know, you're shocked. Or, you feel there is false advertising going on. Afterall, it says right in the little bio over there that I'm not really into the whole "cleaning" thing. And really, it's generally not so much a priority in my life. Trust me, no one is more shocked by this development than I.

But...There was a party. And now there's crap all over my floor. Seriously, everywhere I look, little bits of stuff. And it's really getting on my nerves. There is nothing I'd like better than to whip out the vacuum.

But I can't. Not even I am mean enough to suck up all of these beads and sequins and clickits and assorted other bitsies just one day after they were freed from their boxes.

Tomorrow, however, is another story.

Oh how I would have loved to have you as a mother during my childhood. My mother was a neat freak (she has sense calmed down in recent years) and we had to clean immediately after an event. This includes putting everything away and vaccuming right after opening presents on Christmas morning. Since the birth of my son, she has become a completely different person making me utter the words...okay who are you and what have you done with my mother!!! LOL

Advice from a former 7 year old: I used to LOVE the mess after christmas....and I think my parents put up with wrapping paper and trash for days...THAT is what made xmas for me. The mess : )

hi just found you again, i love the idea of not vacuuming, i had to do it everyday as a child, because mother would not. and who cares if there are little sparkleys from the party. wonderful. i am glad you shared this, made me feel less guilty, thank you, and you are all in my prayers daily.

p.s. the day you posted the blog was my birthday, and it was a wonderful beautiful day, even tho i had to go to work. and even so, it still was a good day. looking forward to next blog.
:-) and for you a sweet tender rose.that is my smell for summer.
