I’ve lived with a lot of people in my day and I’ve known messy people and have, at times, been a messy person. But I’ve never known anyone who littered IN THE HOUSE. Who could not be bothered to put their garbage and old food into the trash can. Its stunning.

WARNING: these graphic images of inside littering are not for those with weak constitutions.

One thing I want you to know before you look at these shocking photos is that these are taken AFTER I asked my cousin to pick up her trash. She picked up 3 grocery store bags full of trash from the living room so she could get a ride with me.

Pooing and peeing inside is fun too.

No, this wasn’t my cousin. It was her dog. Pee stains on a previously clean area of carpet:

I really love Chorebuster, but, like AA, the steps only work if you work the steps. Scribbling over the chart, yet not doing a single chore during the week, courtesy of my messy cousin. No, I’m not bitter.

I hope you are having a rich, abundant, blessed Christmas.  However, I bet some of you are po’ like I am this year. Maybe this song will make you smile, or cry. :) Hopefully, you can find some other kinds of riches in your life today. I hope you all enjoy this song, it’s not actually a Christmas song, but its full of the holiday spirit.

 

Coat of Many Colors Lyrics

Back through the years
I go wonderin once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use

There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat
And it was way down in the fall

Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of

As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldnt wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss

Chorus:

My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

And oh I couldnt understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes

But they didnt understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

Thanks to the Wintry Music list at NPR for the song suggestion.
