From The Mailbox: I Got a Complaint, But It Wasn’t From My Family!

 Oh how this letter from one of you made me giggle!! ASlobComesClean.com - From Our Mailbox

Dear Nony,

I have been diligently working to get my house clean and organized before I go back to school in a week. I was so proud to be totally caught up on not only washing the laundry for my family of five but also having PUT ALL OF THE CLOTHES AWAY in closets and drawers where they belong. About 30 minutes after putting away my last items in the master bedroom closet, my husband’s shelf ripped right off of the wall from the weight of all of the clean clothes.

ASlobComesClean.com

The closet shelves may be complaining about all these clean and put-away clothes, but nobody else in the house is complaining!  Thank you for helping me bless my family!

    reminds me of the time that we half-emptied a rickety set of shelves in the basement, while preparing for a yard sale, and the next morning when we went downstairs to actually get out all of the yardsale, we discovered that said shelf had become top-heavy and completely toppled over

    Ok, that is HILARIOUS! Tell hubby that means it’s time for him to purge some of those clothes and then start following Noni’s “One In One Out” rule. Best rule EVER!

        LOL! Ok, I’ll cut you some slack. In all seriousness, I always miss your posts during the summer. I enjoy the encouragement (and the laughter).

    This is so funny! When I get all caught up (not often enough) it’s usually when I realize we need to purge clothes because stuff doesn’t all fit.

    That is funny! I hope you got rid of some clothes before putting the shelf back up and re-inforcing it.

    reminds me of the time I discovered after months maybe a year or more that we had too many cups to close our cupboard if the were all clean before anyone gets too freaked out my main beverage is water and I had a cup of water in every window seal not sour milk for three months not that i never had sour milk but the cups that rearly got washed were water.
