I'm grateful for an untidy house

Since Moe doesn't live at home, the house is always clean.

I wake up every morning to a spotless kitchen.

Our glass top coffee table is clear of clutter and cup ring marks.

I'm not tripping over Moe's size 16 shoes that are often left in the middle of the living room.

And milk and eggs never run out before its expiration date.

Moe came home yesterday from school and brought a friend from his football team. Immediately our refrigerator and cupboards were raided.

I woke up this morning to a kitchen that had dishes in the sink. The kitchen trash was full and showed evidence of late night snacking. I tripped over Moe's shoes that were left by the kitchen. And there were cup ring marks on our coffee table.

As I tidied up the kitchen and living room, I became aware of how great it feels to have Moe home- and how grateful I am for my untidy house.
