The (day after) Valentine's Day Massacre

If there is a flat surface in my house, odds are it's covered-

covered with lovely red and pink papers,

empty candy wrappers and lots of them,

heart shaped boxes,

and paper bags turned into valentine's treasure keepers.

I need to be a wife and mother today and take back control of my house.

I can't stand when my house looks like this.

I try to explain to Nate

that the way the house looks, reflects the way I feel.

So today, I guess that would mean I'm feeling sheer chaos

and could possibly be hyperventilating.

My plan of action involves a LARGE garbage bag

and a 32 oz Diet Coke.
