Total and Complete Mess Denial
So I'm trying to fall asleep last night, and it hit me.
In my attempt to capture the reality of my home yesterday, with a dash of, "Ha ha, take that" and that whole thing about winning pro-wrestlings of mess, I realized that the room that is
*the horror*
did not even cross my mind. That door stays shut literally, and mentally too I just proved.
That room, that black hole, that eighth-circle-of-hell, is our playroom. We have all three kids sleeping in one bedroom, and so alllllll of their stuff is in the other bedroom, which also has a full sized loft so that it can be used as a (hang head in shame and disbelief) guest room.
Without further ado,
Note the one spot of floor that is clear, which mysteriously corresponds with the surface area required to SHUT THE DOOR properly.
Look! The closet/board book basket/toy bin area has the flu and is vomiting uncontrollably!
So there you have it. Now you have seen the real me.

Oh yeah! You're the greatest! That's sweeeet! Ha! Good job! You're cool. I was just reading yoursubtitle and loved it. Split personality, man! I'm soo there! Adding you to my sanity side bar!
Yes, but look at all the books! Lots and lots of books and that is a *good* thing.
Also, thank you for not making me feel so bad. My house is worse than yours, but at least I know that I'm not alone. Imagine having 1100 square feet of open space, concrete floors and a one year old who is just learning to walk?
Welcome to my world.
Hi again! You won a bravery award on my site! Check it out!
WAY TO GO!!! Kudos to you, girl!
Yikes! that's what my bedroom looks like, that's why I didn't post it! My parents read my blog, and I would have been humiliated for them to see all the clothes all over. I think my closet has the same vomiting problem.
Thanks for sharing-- I feel much better now, not so alone in the chaos! At least your toilet isn't throwing up.
