Changing over the winter clothes.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just a matter of scooping up the cold-weather clothes out of their drawers and replacing them with hot-weather clothes, or even a matter of making a million little emotional decisions, like, \u201cDo I throw away this ratty but beloved shirt while no one\u2019s looking?\u201d or \u201cDo I pack away this baby sweater in case there is ever another baby?\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a matter of going up into the little girls\u2019 room, which is unaffectionately known as \u201cTinkle Town,\u201d and facing the horrors that have been allowed to propagate over the last few, dark months. And it\u2019s not just a matter of clean laundry not put away, or dirty laundry on the floor, or people who have guilted me into buying them pants because they don\u2019t own any pants except those awful itchy gray ones, but it turns out that they have pants \u2014 LOTS of pants \u2014 but which they have been dropping on the floor, mashing elderly Easter eggs into, and then packing into old gift bags \u2014 GIFT BAGS! \u2014 and stuffing into the closet. \u00a0That\u2019s all true, and dreadful enough.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s more. Let\u2019s just say that what sounded like wild, coke-fueled parties after bedtime was actually wild, Coke-fueled parties after bedtime. 36 cans of Coke. Also a bowl of sugar. Bad children! Bad! So bad!!!<\/p>\n

Anyway, with a job as big as this, there is no such thing as a system. The only system is to dive in head first and resign myself to sheer misery and a marathon workout for the washing machine and dryer for the next 72 hours. \u00a0Pray for me. And the first person to say \u201cFirst World Problems\u201d is gonna get a gift bag from me.<\/p>\n
