My children have a ridiculous amount of toys. I weed thru them every couple months and the mountains have now formed in my basement. Realistically, I could open a small toy store. Every Easter, Christmas, Valentines Day, birthday hell even Groundhog Day, my family dumps loads of toys at my house.
Every kid goes thru a few toy phases. Cashs first major toy obsession was Disney Cars. He had to have every single one and all cast members attended bedtime with him. My sister ran around NYC looking for Doc Hudson an almost impossible feat, and wept tears of joy when she finally found him.
Next came Thomas the Train. Those fuckers aren't cheap. Don bought him a wooden birthday Thomas that cost damn near $30! He has a huge Rubbermaid bin full of wooden and battery operated along with a small bin that contains magnetic trains. There's that OCD again. Now we've become a Ninja Turtle Lair with a side of Hulk smash.
My house is full of toys. Every where you turn. I can't contain them. We are busting at the seams. Every now and then I'll spaz the fuck out and start tossing shit until Cash cries that he NEEDS that baby teething ring. Then I'll wait until he goes to bed and I'll toss it all. The kid is so damn smart he wakes up and checks to make sure the shit is still where he left it. A meltdown ensues and I am forced to replace the toy just to get a moment of silence. The cycle continues.
All I want is my house back, but I've come to the realization that until this monsters are out of my house I will continue to live in a daycare center. I just want one room where I can shove kids, toys, dogs and never have to look at a mess again. My house is never dirty, but you can bet your britches it's messy. Someone once made a comment to my best friend about how I should look at the background of the pictures I post before I post them because all she sees is a mess. Besides eat shit, all I have to say is, we live in our house. Kids are only kids once. You're guaranteed to step or sit on a toy but we wouldn't have it any other way.... Bitch.
