Oh Geez

I have been after the kids this whole day to get their rooms & basement clean. It's pretty ridiculous that an hour chore tops, turns into an all day ordeal. I was sick of nagging them & sick of them fighting every time I try to get them to clean. They get along great until I ask them to clean. Then it is like World War III between them...every time they are asked to clean. It is so exhausting. I finally got frustrated enough & told them it was just best to get rid of their toys if they couldn't take care of them. I said they could find other things to do with their time than play with toys. Especially since clean up involves so much fighting & drama. I have no girls! I should not have this much drama in my house!!! After I made this threat, Jacob, the ever-manipulative one came to see me with this picture. "Mommy?" He asked, "would He want you to take away all our toys???" Then he told me he was going to leave the picture here so I could look at it and think about how He wouldn't want me to do this.
