I've Cleaned My Floordrobe...

The bedroom is becoming an issue.

No!  Cancel that!  The bedroom is a source of bio-hazard to rivals areas evacuated of human existence due to toxicity levels!

I apparently, have yet to learn that the best place for a new (or borrowed from mother) item of clothing is the floordrobe.  The advantages are that you can basically see a part of each item so if you want it, you can find it.  The floordrobe can also be used to disguise things on the floor you do not want found, such as stray food packets, ink stains on the carpet, cracks forming from seismic movement or refugee families kicked out of Australia and use to residing in small, stinky spaces.

Ironing?  Magically done by feet moving over items of clothing and also done by heavier items sitting on top- school bags, sports shoes, fallen chairs......

The downside of a floordrobe is that a whole ecosystem can exist underneath the floordrobe and until it is disturbed, it remains harmoniously multiplying and leaving evidence of its lifespan.

Recently I decided to conduct an archeological dig and locate the missing school PE shorts that I had several times, provided bland excuse notices for to the PE teacher.  It was a battle and at the end of it I had a (mostly) charcoal carpet and 3 rubbish bags to show for it, well that and a smile that rivaled Mona Lisa!  Yes, it is true!  She had just cleaned her kids room and was too frightened by what she had found to be truly happy!  Secrets of the ages revealed between mothers!

The elation was short-lived "Gasp! - I like my room like that, what have you done?  I can't find anything now."  and this was the best and most rewarding part "WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?"

Okay mean!  But satisfied. (and on an economic level, protecting my asset- the carpet I mean!!!)
