Charly has moved back home for the summer! I am so excited to have her around for at least a couple of more hours a day! I have missed my girl, and I have missed her helpful and (sometimes obsessively) neat nature! Charly likes things clean and organized and looking nice. Now don't get me wrong, I do as well; just usually not to the extent that Charly does- she is a veritable house elf!
Good thing that being a mom has taught me to be able to ignore the clutter- at least until I've asked the kids to clean it up a few times!
Because here is the obstacle course that was once my hallway:
Ummm... I know she is so busy right now, and I know she has so many things to organize and put away...
As I used to say when the kids were young, 'It's a good thing I love you so much!'
And that's the truth of it. The mess doesn't matter; the mistakes they have made don't matter. The only thing that matters is that I love them! And it's a good thing for them! and for me!
But that doesn't mean it's easy to get to my bathroom at 5:30 AM, in the dark, past this...
I love you Charly!!!
