"We did it, we did it. I have to say we did it. They said we couldn't do it. But Today, its been done." Thats a loose quote from Professor Higgins in My Fair Lady when they finally got Eliza Doolittle to speak like a lady. They danced around the room rejoicing.
That's how I feel about our basement. There is much, much more to do, but we hit a hard dent. And tonight, we had friends over and actually used the room. Tyler had a friend playing with him in there, the kids had their dessert on the picnic table. It was so cool. yea, us! lol
Which leads me to wondering.... how IS it that I accumulate so much crap? My neighbor across the street has double the kids I do, plus a dog, and has no stuff in her rooms. I have stuff in every conceivable corner. I think my stuff breeds when I'm not there. And its been proven to be bad for me - I found an expired Transit check, that's just lost money - yet I can't ever get a handle on it.
I wonder, is it some sort of gene that causes clutter-people vs neat-freak-people? Like the 15th choromosome or missing enzymes? Color blindness is hereditary, why can't clutter be? I tried all the hints and none of them work or last. Its like I yo-yo clean. One minute I'm doing all the rules, next, I'm wading through papers to get to the ringing phone. Whatever, the machine will get it. Maybe.
I hate to be messy. I sincerely try to clean. It just accumulates back immediately, like when you sqeeze a blob of goo out of a balloon, it quickly oozes back in and fills up the space.
I dunno. I gotta make a New Year's resolution to resolve to be better with my mess. Next year.
Anyhow. Guess what? my basements clean and Tyler's playing in it!
