That looks JUST like my house! My husband and I just cleaned our living room last night and it’s already trashed. Gotta love it, huh?
I wish I could blame my shiny kids for my kitchen mess… It was spotless yesterday morning then by the evening you couldn’t even tell there were countertops under there.
it’s amazing how quickly it happens.
when i was in Denmark some years ago (before DS was born), i saw the most amazing exhibit at a design museum–the most famous woman weaver of Dk. she would weave fabrics and lead one of the largest crafting schools in DK for 25 years. Her fabrics are in offices, hospitals, palaces, and government offices both in DK and throughout the world (eg, her fabrics can be seen in NYC at the UN building).
seeing pictures of the buildings and then small pieces of the fabric next to it, along with the weaver and his or her own perspective on it and their process, was a powerful experience. you would hardly notice the fabrics. And to the weaver, they were there to “support the process of what was happening in these places.” so, a fabric for a hospital would be woven to heal, for example, but not “stand out in any way from the underlying process of the space itself.”
I realized then *This is women’s work.*
it is the invisible art of creating a space for growth. it is the invisible art of being sunlight, water, and soil to those around us. we are just there–supporting, nurturing, nourishing, and creating space for amazing things to happen.
hey that might be my house! lol
I have a sign up in my kitchen that says “Please excuse the mess, but we LIVE here!”
which replaces the sign: “If you’ve come to see the house, give us two weeks notice; if you’ve come to see us, arrive anytime!”
I also tell folks that my house is “relatively clean” and my girls always back me up by saying, “Yup, we clean anytime the relatives are coming!”
This looks altogether too familiar, LOL!
i love the naked baby! my boys spent most of the summers under 4 naked.
Oh wow lol that house looks like mine. My 22 month old will leave to spend the night with his dad, I clean the entire house while he is gone. He gets back home and in less than 2 seconds you can’t tell I cleaned anything lol
Oh and since my 22 month old is no potty training himself he takes off his diaper frequently and sits around naked like that too lol
hihi so true
Hi Jennifer,
this reminds me of some comics I did called the clash of paradigms (especially the one called female)

xox,

if i leave a comment here does it show up there?
It does now! Thanks for fixing it! & yes this is a fairly typical house! Even my “boiled clean” nieces could create some FANTASTIC messes & they themselves would still somehow be spotless, lol!
Jillian,
Mine too. When we all walk down to the farmers market on Thursdays where I live, we get a lot of comments on the fact the youngest is dressed in just a diaper. But dangit, it is just too hot to make him wear more.
