My New Blog!
This should be fun! Today is the first day of the school year for my both of my children so it seems an appropriate day to start something new. My first day to think since June. I am calling my blog Nailing Jello to a Tree because on a recent trip to Ithaca with my daughter I saw a pin that said, "Raising teenagers is like trying to nail Jello to a tree!" Most days I do feel like that. And nailing Jello can be fun given the right frame of mind.
Of course by starting this blog I am also avoiding the task at hand which is cleaning my daughter's room. Why am I cleaning a 16 year olds room you ask? Well my daughter is a slob with asthma who has let her room get to the point where it is actually unhealthy for her to be in it. So I am here dragging my feet starting a blog!
So far today instead of cleaning Inga's room I have: called my mother twice, edited pictures, gone to the public market, tried to find my skinny son some jeans, thought about making peach elderberry pie, and of course written this. Maybe the dogs need a walk???

I like that---if you don't clean your room right now, I'll post it on my blog...
Holy shit!!!... I forgot what my kids rooms used to look like. Are you sure there are not vermin and snakes in there? I will bet you find some acrons though.
I love it Cindy. I know the feeling. And I like Rhonda's comment as well. Will you post another picture when you get it finished? If you ever do.
I love Rhonda's response. Maybe that's why I didn't have kids...one of the reasons anyway.
I so appreciate the picture because right now that is what my entire house looks like (but I'm too embarrassed to post a picture of that in a blog). And what have I accomplished so far on my Friday off from work - a trip to Starbucks!!!
Blogging is a fantastic way to avoid doing the real work at hand...and it actually looks like you're accomplishing something sitting at your computer typing away.
Good luck with the big clean!!
