I agree with supporting local small businesses. My brother and I have decided that's what we are going to do as soon as they open.

I wish I'd known about Clean Up Your Room Day when the boys were teenagers.

Coincidentally my girls cleaned up their room as they wanted to gift me some peace of mind on the special day. And a clean room gives me a real peace of mind.

Cleaning my room is on the docket for tomorrow when the washing machine is free so I can wash my linens and cover.

It's diabolical conspiracy that Mother's Day is the same day as the thing mothers say most to their kids: "Clean up your room!"
