We interupt this Mother's Day for a public service announcement:

The Spring Cleaning Party got totally OUT OF HAND.

It got WILD, it got Crazy. 

Remember my living room from the last post....the BEFORE pictures.

I was so embarassed at the clutter, at the messiness. Fortunately, the pictures

did not do the dust bunnies, the dirty baseboards and the multilayered, almost

petrified dust, justice. 

Oh no, you got the good, the bad, but not the ugly.

So like any good party, sometimes, things get out of control.

And.......

This......

Is......

What Happens.........

Oh my! bet you weren't expecting that, were ya?!

It's all part of a bigger picture. A picture, that when finished, will bring so much happiness to my life, I can''t describe it.

All this stuff, and believe me, it's only a fraction (I can heard the gasps and screams from all the neat people of the world), of the stuff.

The stuff that is 45 years of a collector of things. A collector of life is how I prefer to describe it.

The stuff is 15 years of 2 children and their stuff.

The stuff is an accumulation of 8 moves. 

The stuff is my former life of making children's furniture.

I don't exactly like to get rid of things.

The party will end in the basement. But it will have an affect on every room in the house.

I know that some people will be downright horrified of this mess, but to me, it is glorious.

I know what it means, and it's been a long time coming.

I could not be happier.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone I know who is a mother, and to everyone who is a child.

Happy Happy Mother's Day.

I love you all.
