Crazed Cleaning

Whoa, summer time has made me lazy on the bloggage :P. Well, its that time of year again, where everyone get ridiculously tan and thus ridiculously good looking. However, my days at the lake, floating on the boat, reading a historical fiction and sipping a non alcoholic frozen beverage have been put to a hold. Once a year, the chaos that we live in drives one of my parents mad and they go on this giant cleaning spree. This time it was my father. He called us in one by one and told us that there would be no TV, computer's or hanging out with friends until "this house passed my inspection". Well, that sure puts a downpour on my sunny day. I mean, believe me, I like it when the house is clean, but with five kids thats hardly likely to stay that way! So for now we have been put on the Nazi clean up. One thing I don't think my parents are catching onto about why our house stays so messy is the hoarding that they unconsciencely do. I mean the mess can never really go away if we have lipstick from 1991 clogging up the makeup drawer? They tell me that I throw away too much but I mean, really? What use are we going to have for a broken, mangled, makeup stained emory board when we have 27 perfectly good ones? Its the trashy little things that we keep that are taking up space, and until we get rid of it we will just keep pushing around stacks forever. My song for today is Philosophy by Ben Folds Five.
