The mess.....

Each morning when I come home from work, I walk up my hall into my room, deposit my bag and look into Macy's room.  And I usually see ......... a mess! Help!! Many people might not think her room is very messy at all but for me and my clean/tidy freak obsession, 

it's a total mess!

Let's break it down....

Unmade bed. PJ's and headphones (that belong to Honey) on the end of her bed. Curtains - unopened, clothes not put away, clothes falling off heart stool, junk all over dresser, towel slung over door.  Hair accessories, socks, wet wipes (put there so maybe, just maybe, Macy would use them to wipe her drawers down, lol) and other assorted crap on her drawers. 

I am grateful, however, that while Mace may be a tad messy in the room department, it's not 'dirty' and people, there is a difference!  No old plates or food and no tissues, ear cleaners or other nasties laying about, lol. So, Mum to the rescue.  With my trusty vacuum cleaner, spray and wipe, wet wipes, window cleaner and my selection of magic cleaning cloths, we soon had that room sparkling.

 Before.....

Can you tell that Macy has a 'thing' for the Eiffel Tower and Paris? :)

Macy's room may get a bit messy and unorganised every now and then, but she's meticulous in her personal appearance, taking ages to shower, do her hair and choose her clothes so I'm guessing one day, it will transfer into tidying her room.  And really, I can't complain.  When I was a teenager, my room looked worse than that! (ssshhh, don't tell Mace) You couldn't see the carpet for the clothes.  I used the "try something on, take it off and leave it on the floor' method of choosing an outfit.....until the day my mum came in with my washing all folded up and instead of giving it to me, she threw it into the air so the clean clothes landed on the floor, the bed and the drawers!!!  When I asked why she did that, she simply replied that she was sorry, she thought this was how I put away my clothes!!!!  Ummmm, I kind of tidied up a bit more after that incident :)

So I may have to exercise patience and continue to encourage Macy to tidy her room, which she always does when asked, and I'm sure one day, I'll come home from work and she'll surprise me with a spotless room....yeah right!!!!  Love you Macy ;)

And just in case you missed me and my netball buddies in our super star TV appearance...here we are!!!!

Have a good Monday
