cleaning is FUN!!

yeah right..

spring cleaning is upon us!! (oh joy, ... actually we are about to get a visit from my in-laws)
so it's time to reduce the clutter, and organize..

HELL... who am i kidding... i like clutter and this is freaking killing me.

both the wife and i tend to be a bit of a pack rat..

take "important papers" for example... i do not honestly believe that in the normal course of things that we dispose of ONE SINGLE SCRAP OF PAPER that has EVER crossed the threshold of our home.

case in point.. we are organizing our "important papers" and separating out that which is to be kept, and that which is to go bye bye...
in the trash box goes a papa johns 25th anniversery ad, and shortly thereafter goes a pap johns 15th anniversery ad as well....

jr drops by and says... "cani help, i want to be a good helpful little boy"

ok.. well here son put this in the trash box....... and then go get me some more papers from the other box.

10 minutes later and it seems that box of papers left to sort through has really not diminished too much, and strangely enough i think i'v seen the same chinese food menu (from a resteraunt near our home... 3 homes ago) at least 5 separate times...
frustrated i step back and just watch mom n jr going at it....

sure enough i DID see that menu multiple times... looks like jr has been taking the "trash" papers, neatly stacking them, sorting them in order (don't ask, i have no clue what criteria he uses for sorting stuff) and then promptly places them "under" a stack of unsorted papers.

aint it great.. he's so helpful...

ohh the hell with it.. he seems to be having fun, and well strangely (even through the soul tearing experience of "throwing stuff away") so does mama.

i'll just let em go..

life is.... GOOD! and clutter is fine too!

peace
