just so!

summer is here!

YEAH!

usually yeah!

and in the grand scheme of things ... "yeah!"

but you see, i'm one of "those people" who just craves routine & structure.

i do better in crisis.

the crazier things are, the more hectic...

the more organized and functional i become.

i loved back to school because i loved to be organized and have routine.

i always had better grades in school during swimming season...

when i worked full time... it was a very high stress chaotic setting working with mentally ill children.

when a child was in crisis, i was quick on my feet.

the more challenging the case the better therapist i was.

when things slow down.

i forget things.

get disorganized.

hence am cranky.

subsequently cranky kids.

and the house becomes a bit messy!

these piles of laundry are waiting for me!

where did the come from?

this isn't even all of it!

there are piles to be PUT away.

i hate putting them away!

my bathroom is suddenly "college dirty".

you know.

just disgusting.

i'd consider myself a clean person.

i don't know if its from the increase in dirtiness from summer fun.

but my tub looks like a frat house tub.

i would take a picture and be more descriptive... but i think i'll leave your imagination to yourself on this one!

i can't let all my dirty secrets out of the closet!

am i alone here with this?!?!!?

i just can't seem to get anything done.

ok i'm off to get everyone tucked into bed and tackle the laundry... maybe!

oh... i also have to finish picking up all the beach toys that are piled up outside from being cleaned off after the beach today.

i suppose the bonus would be that i DID in fact clean them!

just didn't put them away.
