Mess

I have decided, after joking about it, that I am going to keep a visual record of all the mess the kids (and myself) make and try to do something creative with it. I get very upset and irritated with the constant needless mess as I always seem to be repetitively cleaning up the same crap when I'd rather be doing something creative/fun/educational/interesting/useful/meaningful/social etc. It wouldn't bother me so much except that my house seems to get totally trashed on a daily basis and it's driving me nuts. It's an enormous waste of effort. From this day on I will attempt to keep a visual diary of all the clutter and garbage and make a creative project out of it somehow. . . Maybe then I won't feel so infuriated at all the diverted time I'd rather spend on artistic past times. Perhaps looking back over all the mess I haver tidied up will make me feel like I have achieved something worthwhile and creative after all!!!!!
