If there's one thing I've learned in life at age 42, it is NEVER be super judgemental about something or it will come back to bite you. I can name many, many examples of it happening in my life. Art oft reminds me, to my chagrin, that I'm the lady who indignantly said, "My children will never wear just a diaper."
Anyway, back to the subject of cleanliness: When I saw that the cleaning just wasn't getting anywhere, I asked James what kind of house Nichole's mom kept. Yep...tidy...very much so. So thank you, Nichole, for overlooking my weakness...a weakness I could very well have passed to James (let's not beat around the bush...a weakness I DID pass to James, if his bedroom is any indication). And thank you as well for not turning and running for the hills when you came upon me at Christmastime, in the bathroom, having diarrhea, and singing the diarrhea song at the top of my lungs with my little ones (my kind husband taught it to me). What a great thing love is for hiding all our flaws...until after we're married : ) .
