"Just What Kind of Mother Would Do This" asks Marshall!

Poor Marshall. Marshall is reaping the results of three older siblings leaving home for the first time and leaving a total mess behind for Mom to clean up. In order for that NOT to happen I have been on Marshall's case most of the summer to get his room organized and things put away, etc. However, not much progress was being made earlier this week with him leaving town tomorrow. Alas, I told him a couple of days ago that not only would his room need to be cleaned up, but we were also going to take apart his bed. Which happened yesterday. Sometimes it takes us moms awhile to figure out how to handle things. I may have handled this all wrong (one never knows with Marshall), but at least his room is almost empty. I'm not totally unkind. He has been assured that there will be a bed in there when he comes home at Christmas. The reality is is that Rich and I, 28 years later, are upgrading to a King Size bed and our current mattress needs a place to go.
