Anticipating What My Children Will Do

My children will take a match and throw it into this mess and laugh. As everything goes up into a giant bonfire. The couches, the rugs, the pillows, my paintings. I can visualize it, and I do not blame them. I would do this too if I had to face cleaning out this mess. I feel grateful that I will be long gone when it happens. At least five days gone, I wager.

(chuckle) (chuckle) I can't stop! My house is so neat you would despise it! My friends (the few I have) laugh that my house is always so clean and neat. Of course, I have a housekeeper come in every two weeks and put it in shape. You get what you pay for.

I could not stand it. A housekeeper coming into this house would be too depressed to clean.
