While the Cat's Away the Mice Will Play

Well, it won't exactly be play but the mice (mom) will be busy cleaning out the cat's (son's) room while he is away.  

Our son is gone to town visiting cousins for the next few days. While he is off having spring break fun his dad and I are going to take advantage of the time and spring clean his room!!! Something that is badly needed!  This kid never wants to get rid of one single thing. I mean when we are cleaning out his  room, if there is a wadded up piece of  paper  that he's thrown on the floor (and he seems to think that the floor is a  trash  can even though he is constantly being reminded where the trash can  is.) that wadded up piece of paper suddenly becomes a treasure when you start to pitch it.  

My older kids were the  same way, they never wanted to  get rid of a toy, even though it might be broken and had not been played with  in 3 years. The difference were they left home to go to school.  While they were gone to school- the  room would be cleaned out! They never missed the  old stuff. Enjoyed the newer stuff better and especially the cleaner, uncluttered room. 

My goal for the next few days---Unclutter and reorganize!
