It is a classic line, Moms and Dads have been yelling it for years. “Clean your room!” I think I heard that from my mom more than I heard her say she loved me Now that it is back to school time, the kids are doing other things and they don’t want to clean, (Not like they ever wanted to) so keeping a good organization system will really help. It makes clean up much faster when everything has a home.

Before the holidays start and all of the new toys start coming in, it’s time to figure out what to do! I used to live in a 2500 sq ft 5 bedroom home so finding places to put things was ever an issue. There was plenty of space but then, during my divorce, my boys and I moved to a 2 bedroom 900 sq ft apartment. You want to talk about having to come up with new ways to organize things?

I am happy to say that I am officially divorced, I can close that chapter of my life and continue with the new one. That was a long road to go down and no one wants to be divorced. It was the best thing for both of us though. I wish it had gone a little better but it is difficult to see past the anger and bitterness sometimes. On to happier times!

Parents are like kids sometimes. I only see my Mom three or four times a year and it’s never a dull moment around her. She often comes out with things that should be filed under “Parents say the darnedest things.”
