239 / 365: The Forgotten Room


It has many purposes: holds our food, washes our clothes, keeps our shoes, welcomes our guests, and houses our cat. It is also a surrogate locker room for sports gear and the launch pad for our morning departure, housing backpacks and lunchboxes. However, it is probably the most abused and least cleaned room in the whole house.

This "red headed stepchild" of our domicile is the laundry room / pantry. It has served all of the above duties, and more, without so much as a whimper. This week it started to call for a little attention by emitting an unknown odor. Since we weren't sure of the source, Mom went on a mission. After a few hours of elbow grease and a few trips to the trash can and shed, this little room looks important again (and it smells much better too!). It feels good to have our "launchpad" ready to go as MGR and the boys get ready to start a new school year.

Until next time....launch away!!
