Mothers are wise. Don't ever doubt that.

Case in point: this afternoon, mine gave me the encouragement I needed to spur me onto something I really needed to tackle. She did so in the form of an imperative--"Go clean your room." :D

By that she meant, "get up there and vacuum the cat-hair off your floor! No wonder your nose is stuffed up!"

Okay, so I hopped up, mid-strum (I was playing my guitar), located the vacuum, the lemon oil (for dusting; I do not know when the last time I dusted was!)...hauled up the bag of cat-litter (the litter box needed changing as much as the floor needed vacuuming) and set to work. 

I dusted, vacuumed, deep cleaned (sort of), and ended up moving some of my furniture around! I think I will really like it once I get used to it.

Have I showed you the screen-door Daddy made for my room out of chicken-wire? This allows the air to move a little more freely...

*Gasp* I can see my bookshelf!!! I moved that table--it was where the clothes rack now is and the clothes rack was where the table is. (Excuse the ironing pile...I really do need to get around to that too!)

I am hoping that the lamp will stay upright and that Curio will not knock it over and break the light bulb--again! I can also get to my radio again which is really nice!

Yes, the cats are still getting used to it...they have been going around sniffing everything to make sure it's safe! :D (I use this clothes rack because I cannot get my clothes in the closet with Katherine's. Yes, we probably have a few too many...)

It warms my heart to see a portion of my magnet collection back up on the wall! These are mainly my 'military' magnets (there are a few non-military ones up there.) I have oodles of State and National park magnets too. And the occasional, random, odd one from places like a gator farm...
All told, I think it was a pretty profitable afternoon and I'm glad Mama told me to go clean my room. :)

You crack me up, Racheal!! When I saw the pic of your chicken wire screen door I didn't see right away that you gave somewhat of an explanation. I scrolled a little and saw it but isn't the door really to keep your kitty cats from roaming the house( getting into trouble with the downstairs cat)? and still have some air movement. I think that door was a great idea!!

Well, that too. :D We were going to see if Abby and the other two might "make friends" through the door...but I think Abby has only been upstairs maybe half-a-dozen times since it went in!

I certainly appreciate the air-flow factor. This past winter I thought I was going to cook in there with the door shut all the time! (I have the single duct for the upstairs in my room.)

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
