"Messy House"

A friend and I were talking yesterday on the phone and sharing feelings about having our kids home this week for spring break. I only have 5 kids, she has more. She mentioned that she has “messy house”, not “a messy house”, and it made me smile. It’s kind of like a disease your house gets when all your kids are home running around doing goodness knows what. I can clean everything off the floor in a room, leave it, and all the kids will be outside, yet when I go back into the room, a new toy has appeared there. But I’ll take “messy house” while I can because before I know it, it’ll be “too quiet house” and I’ll miss all the craziness.
