Disclaimer

Dear friends,

In reference to my last post in which I referred to my mother as a hoarder and/or pack-rat, I would like to offer a disclaimer. My mother, a hoarder though she may be, is a secret hoarder. The house is very clean and presentable, however it may be in those dark, unnoticed corners of the closet that the school projects from 1986 may lie. She informs me that since their house was flooded by a pipe burst in May and all the floors had to be replaced, she was forced into a major purge and I would be (and I quote), "...lucky to find any semblance of [my] being raised in this house, in this house."

So, friends, please note that my mom is not a bad housekeeper. She is phenomenal at keeping things tidy where others can see. Just don't look in the cabinets beneath the wet bar.
