mother2to - Your house is my house. Today I will be going through my son's many boxes of clothes while he is at work and seeing if I can find room in his closet (or mine) to hang them up so I can get rid of some boxes. We put all his furniture in my daughter's old room but when she and her husband come for Christmas they need to sleep in there so I want to try and find a spot for that furniture. I hope to get a lot accomplished today but we will see. My son and I don't want to have to pay for a storage unit so I am going to try my hardest to make it all work.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

If the name of the magazine is Demolition, the answer is: Absolutely! With mother in the rehab hospital, I've been working on cleaning out her "quarters", going through her closets and drawers, and generally trying to neaten things up and make things easier for her. That side of the house would fit perfectly into Demolition Magazine.  |

Yes it does. My apartment is spotless and clutter free well except for my sisters room, that room is over flowing with clothes and other crap. Sometimes it bothers me so much that I have to clean it at least once a month. I don't know how two people can grow up in the same house with a mother that has OCD tendencies when it comes to keeping everything in its a place and turn out so differently.

In the 80s when 'Country ruffles, cross stitch and blue geese' were the rage, our house did look like a magazine. Even with kids. Only on housecleaning day though. But I have discovered that 'less is more' and all of the knick-knacks are gone. Chair rail is gone. Things hanging on the wall are gone. Too much to dust. No throw pillows out. No afghans laying out. No cobwebs in the top part of the curtains.
Except for Christmas. Then we are the Griswolds.
