i cleaned out my closet this weekend. it was much needed since it had just become a "throw and go" location. it felt good to make progress...
i was sitting in my closet admiring it when jack came in. he said, "mom, serious question: would you rather have a trashed closet and a clean room or a clean closet and a trashed room?" maybe he asked that "serious" question because after the closet cleaning project, my bedroom now looks like this...
trashed. i can see why he might have been confused. the answer to jack's question is, of course, that i would like to have both a clean room and a clean clean closet, and i think i am getting there. the fact is that progress doesn't always look the way i want it to. in my room or in my life.

I love this. Our whole room is the throw-and-go. It stinks. (Not that it is smelly, but it is a bad situation. :) ) Once, I sat with Michaela (our oldest) and helped her clean her closet. Later that week I saw her room was a mess and I said,"Didn't I just help you clean this room?!" She looked at me without missing a beat and said,"Actually, we cleaned my closet. We messed up my room." :P She's too smart for me.
You'll get there! And you'll inspire me along the way!!
Love this post, because it's my life to a T! LOVE the chair/bench in your room by the way!
That makes me LAUGH!
i know the feeling. but i won't scare you with the picture of MY room.....although my closet is also rather clean at the moment. i say "GOOD JOB" and just walk away. :0)
