Our House
Our house is small. Built in stages - 3, 16'x20' squares attached in a line. We have one bathroom and our washer/dryer is in our kitchen. I love our house.
In our house I can hear my kids get out of bed as they try to sneak around. In our house we learn that 4 people can brush their teeth all at once (5 is pushing it). In our house, more christmas lights than wall space can turn an ordinary living room into Santa's bordello. In our house, I can look out the window and see nothing but trees, and occasionally the northern lights. In our house the floors are cold and we all have good slippers. In our house, a perfect night is playing dominoes at the kitchen table, with dogs to keep our feet warm and popcorn to drop and keep them happy. I love our house.
We go to other people's houses - houses that are clean and tidy and everything has a place. Where do they pile their mail? Where are their extra boots and hats? How do they remember to floss if they put it into a drawer afterwards?
In our house we occasionally go crazy, things are too cluttered, we throw away anything left on a floor, or a shelf. But even when we reduce, it's still our house.
I love our house.
