That’s what is being said to everyone who comes to my door today. That and, “I’m sorry but G. and T. are not allowed to leave the house today until they can go at least 4 hrs. without firing an F-bomb at me and have contributed to maintaining the home they live in.

See, today we are “Spring Cleaning” the boys’ bedroom. A while back I got sick of living with my husband’s ex-wife’s grandmother’s furniture that absolutely reeked of wet dog anytime it rained. We received Sure Fit covers for the furniture as wedding gifts two years ago. That was a mistake. Sometimes you just get what you wish for and end up being tortured by it. They were solid black. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was having to wash them at least once a week because the boys all refused to not sleep on the furniture or eat on the furniture. At first opportunity, I had Joseph and G. toss that sofa and love-seat in a dumpster. So we’ve been living without living room furniture and it hasn’t bothered anyone. All that’s done in there is video game playing.

Back to the boys’ bedroom. With one twin bed and twin over futon bunk bed and tons of freaking toys that have labeled containers and books scattered every where, none of them, Baby Boy in particular had a relaxing, visually unstimulated place to unwind. So we’ve spent the day getting the toys organized back into their containers, putting their dresser in their closet, organizing the books, moving their TV stand to the living room and moving the Ugly (yes it requires a capital “U”) entertainment center to their room. The bottom storage will house their books and their Fedora Linux computer & desk has been moved to a more manageable location in their room and their Windows gaming system has been put into their room. Both of these systems have boot passwords for their accounts and only Joseph and I know the passwords.

Now we are about to get the living room turned into THE gaming & playroom. Then tomorrow is laundry day. I might have some sanity left by Sunday night.

Might.
