clutter

I'm listening to Carla Bruni's second album, entitled No Promises.

I love a clean house as much as anyone. But I don’t love cleaning.

I've finished at least part of my to do list.  Lots of things have been lacking here, but I'm trying to stay on top of the pile.  I miss having friends and family over all the time.  It helped keep the clutter at bay.  It seems like in each room I have just enough mess to look disorganized.  I think my mind feels chaotic and so it seeps into the physical world.

This week life doesn't suck because I have an easy, frugal and cute solution to solve our toy storage woes.

So, we cleaned this weekend.

The new school zoning lines were drawn to make the district run more economically by filling up schools that now have too few students and closing others. At least that's what the plan's advocates have been insisting.

Kudos to Bob Corker for his noteworthy service in the U.S. Senate to date, noteworthy if for no other reason in its workmanlike character.

When you are a guest in our house, we try to make you as comfortable as possible. DH cleans; I cook.

It stands tall
covering the clutter behind
the pile I have gathered
over the years...
of pins and needles, pots and pans

It stands still
masking my worries, my sorrows
hiding the wounds of hurt and spite
shrouding a heap of emotions I stored
encasing the pool of tears I cried

It stands strong
backing the burden beyond

Okay, I realize "porn people" is not the technical name of their company. But, it sounds better than Sugar DVD.
