It's like Tuesdays with Morrie without all the wisdom
It’s not Disorder, it’s De Rigeur
I was cleaning up a little bit last night and when I was done, I took some pictures of what I didn’t clean up. It occurred to me that I do not consider Several Piles of Books Scattered all Through the House something that needs to be cleaned up. I didn’t clean up the kids’ bedding on the basement floor, either. Apparently, on the scale of child-rearing necessities, Scattered Reading Material ranks just as high as Comfy Slumber Party Sleeping Arrangements. What did I clean up? I did the dishes and mopped and vacuumed the floors. Then I put the books and bedding back down on the just mopped or vacuumed floors.
You’re still Martha Stewart to me. IF I would have vacuumed, (& that’s a big IF), I’d probably have vacuumed AROUND the piles of books…or made said children pick them up themselves.
But, yeah, there’s 5 books in my sightline on the living room floor right now. Living la vida intellectual, baby!
