I deleted about 100 pictures of MESSES. Messes in my house. Why did I delete those? Because they are atrocious.
Damn though. I should have shown you. I am scared you would judge me, but damn! There is some crazy ass messy shit that goes on with kids.
Just realized I can still get them off Photostream. And hey! Look at all those photos that I WANT deleted that are STILL on Photostream. And why can't I delete them? Apple, I love you, but sometimes you really make some confusing shit. I. Do. Not. Get. The. Cloud. Well, I GET it, in theory, but in practice I can't seem to access it with ease or delete shit from it.
So, lucky readers! You get to see the crazy ass messes. Why do I do this? I'll tell you why. I do it as a complicated procrastination process. Because when I stumble into a room to see a giant overwhelming mess I don't FEEL like cleaning it right away. I have to process it first. So I take a pic and text it to Tracy and then we discuss who has a messier house and who feels least like cleaning and I get to procrastinate about it for a while. So, in no particular order:
Someone was instructed to clean out her artwork drawers. That was a fun battle.
Guess I can't blame it all on the kids.....See the caulk on the back of the toilet? That's been in there for four months. Must. Caulk. Shower.
I threw all the contents of the hall closet on the floor and then re-organized it.
Just daily shit.
Yes. That's our bed. Yes, that's a shit load of laundry.
The table is too messy so I just moved to the floor, Mom!
I dumped the entire pantry contents out. Are you getting my system?
Here we have procrastination at it's worst. I took this pic and texted it and discussed it for WAY longer than it would have taken to just DO THOSE DISHES.
Then, eventually I clean it up and take a photo. I love a transformation. Its like watching an episode of Hoarders. Before and After. Love that shit.
Hall closet "AFTER"
Pantry AFTER
I just feel calmer looking at the AFTER photos. Don't you? In fact, I may just sit here and stare at them instead of getting up and dealing with the giant mess behind me in the play room.

I do love before-and-afters. *happy sigh*
I love that you are sharing your mess photos. I have taken more photos in my classroom than my home this year, plenty of messes. Crap piled on my desk. The difference is that I couldn't see the top of my desk for weeks.
Welcome back!
I miss your blogging, too! And I don't think it counts as a REAL mess if you just take everything out to make it super clean later in the day!
Love, love the messes!
