Hey! That's TWO Miracles in One Day!

It was a touching scene. A family bonding time. The five of us, mom, dad, three kids, all together for the better part of the day. In the basement. Cleaning it. O the words said to each other...O the words said to each other that can't be repeated. And we lived through it, the five of us, without carnage or death to any one of us. And today, we all still like and are even still talking to each other! Now that's a miracle!

The other miracle? WE HAVE A CLEAN BASEMENT! It took well, I'm too embarassed to say how many years a year, but, by golly, WE HAVE A CLEAN BASEMENT! Here, I'll show you:

Isn't that just beautiful???

So, #6 of my 2007 New Years Resolutions which I reiterated this NY'sE, It's a bye bye to you:

6. I will clean out my basement. Actually my husband and I have to do this as we're close to having our house declared a booby-trap hazard. How did it get so out of control??? Didn't happen,dammit! It did happen! Yippee!

  6. That's on my list for this year. Clean out the basement. We're actually thinking of going room by room this year and pitching and giving away. Hope we actually do it...

  7. I am soooo jealous. Instead of cleaning our basement, my husband added to the clutter by cleaning out his office at work and bringing it all home. Yuck!!!

  11. Wow I am impressed you got everyone to do this. Now can you come and clean out my garage? No one, and I mean NO ONE will help. I don't blame them. I hate it too. Congratulations on one thing knocked off your list.

  12. Wow, I'm impressed. You have a nice big basement, too. Mine is much smaller, and stuffed to the rafters. I'm thinking we need a dumpster. A BIG one.

  14. We have a basement here but all my stuff is in the garage. In boxes. Because this is only temporary. Ugh.
