Holy Cheeseballs, Where Did All This Shit Come From??

So, I decided to do something constructive on this fine, beautiful Sunday! Of course I had to have some fun first! So after we had company come by for 30 minutes I hopped in the car and headed to Janice's house to exchange some Christmas presents! Opening presents with Janice is always a delight because we love getting a deal and this year was no exception!! I loved the look on her face when she finally got to see the necklace I made her and to find out the jacket we "fought over" back in September was actually for her!!

After the fun, I headed home for the constructive part of the day ..... needless to say, I'm still in the process of finishing that, but I desperately needed a break!! Today (of all days) I decided to do the dreaded job of cleaning out my youngest daughters play room! Now this is no ordinary play room by any means. When I bought this house they told me it was the dining room. Really? A dining room? You have to be kidding me!! It's a 10 by 10 add-on and there's no way that you could ever have a substantial family gathering in there. So, abracadabra, it's now a play room! Cori is 13 ..... yes, I can hear you now ..... she's 13? She doesn't need a play room!! So, let me explain ..... Cori is 13 going on 8. She has severe ADHD (wonder where she got that), OCD (hmmmm), and is a high functioning autistic! That having been said, there's just some toys that we collect and never get rid of! Hence the title of "Cheeseballs, where did all this shit come from"!! I haven't really been in there for the last 6 months because she stopped going in there for awhile, but with Christmas a week away the inevitable will happen and she'll be back in there with her new Littlest Pet Shop crap littering up the floor and making my anal side go into overdrive! A little while back I hung a curtain over the doorway ..... since it doesn't have a door ..... so I didn't have to see all the stuff in there that wasn't being played with!

So here I am, a respectable 40 year old woman cleaning up the toys, trying not to remember when she spent hours in there lining each thing up and finding it it's own special place amongst the mess, and thinking where did this come from? I don't remember this much shit being in here the last time I did this! So after removing roughly 2-30 gallon trash bags of kiddie crap from in there we'll see if I can manage to turn this into a room I'll like again ..... at least until the next time I have to do this!!
