Clean out my car, but that is for the weekend.

Hubby thinks we should just set fire to the whole mess.

I'm thinking a bulldozer would be more effective.

Sounds like sound thinking--maybe try both.

Care to trade for a room used by two grandgirls (10 & 16) for the last month?

I'll say a payer for you when you enter said room. I remember well the mess that was left in our daughter's room when she moved out. I was all for sealing the door and never speaking of the room agine. I just knew that There had to be something liveing under that bed. With all the plates, glass and flatware that had went into that room never to be seen agine. not counting all the thing one daughter clamed to had lost from colths to school work. There had to be something livening in there eating the odd shoe or sock. sometimes whole outfits. Many was the night I feared for the safty of our sweet darlying daughter when she was in that room.

Then when she went of to college and into a drome room of her own. I felt she would be safe. it was not until one weekend, Parents weekend. That I seen the chrecher that had lived in her room had followed her to school.....










OK I got carried away

• go by the bank
• drop Chasity's keys at her house (she left them yesterday)
• buy groceries (with three little boys along - won't do that again)
• bought said little boys lunch at McDonald's
• pay the phone bill
• make the motorcycle payment
• pay the cable bill
• dropped printer off at the shop for repair

I'm hot and tired now.

Rather have you hot and bothered rather than hot and tired. Maybe a cool refreshing soak in the tub, ice cubes floating, ala Body Heat.

We can see wood floor.

I know, I know, it has been awhile.

And during the course of this I had to run out and buy more trash bags.

We just took a break for lunch.

I think we'll save going through the dressers for tomorrow.

Take the small victories where you can find them in this process

You're always hot ... sorry to hear about the tired

Charmers, the both of you.

Sounds like when I cleaned out my old room when I moved out. I never realized how much junk you could care around in just ONE ROOM! I got rid of about 300 books, 14 trashbags of clothes, 10 bags of junk ( donatable), anf four trash bags of actual trash. Sheesh.

 

[rgraham666]

I suddenly don't feel too bad about my room.

 

[starrkers]

I am so glad my daughter's "room" can be towed to the dump when she finishes with it

 

[humphrey]

Eating a litre of baskin robbins double choc fudge ice-cream.

That will surely take a while to burn off

 

[TE999]

Cleaning out my closet. There are shirts and trousers in there from two waist sizes ago (larger) and shoes I haven't worn in years. Not to mention cold weather clothing, ties and business suits.

Goodwill's gonna be a happy camper.

 

[impressive]

I'm doing a surgical strike while my daughter's at camp this week. Today, I removed all the size 7/8 clothing from her closet. None of it fits any more.

Tomorrow, I'm going to raid her older brother's closet for outgrown clothes.

Friday, it's off to Goodwill.

 

[Trombonus]

Clean? What? I don't understand! *curls up in the fetal position*

 

[IrezumiKiss]

I'm so glad I took all my under-the-bed porn with me when I moved out of the house.

I have a teenage daughter, well barely out of teens.

It's an amazing phenomenon that the room can be pristine and when said daughter walks in and out of the room *poof* it's as if a tornado hit it.

There are a couple theories governing this teenage room thing....

We subscribed to the same "let it all rot and fester until the odor begins to seep under the door theory" that SSS does. My advice is don't look under the bed... just send the teenager in...You really don't want to know what is there anyway. Trust me on this, if you do not remember your own teenage years.

After all, the point of all this is to produce a functional adult on or about the age of 18.......

With two daughters... I would gauge our success rate at about 50%.... My oldest, who was by far the messiest.... maintains a pristine household.. (but then her husband stays home with the kids so maybe HE does.... hmmmm) while the youngest takes after her father.

Save the arguments for the "life threatening" stuff. There are enough of those...

Good Luck... And remember, "Grandchildren are your reward for not strangling your teenagers"... Keep focused on the prize!
