Ssshh!!! I'm holding summer hostage.

I'm a mean Mommy.  My kids aren't allowed to "celebrate" summer break until they get their bedrooms clean.  School officially ended here on 5, June, and they aren't doing anything until that cleaning is DONE.  And oh, did I mention that I AM NOT DOING IT MYSELF?  Yep, I am making THEM clean up their messes, though I have agreed to take care of the things that are mine.  Which is probably why my bed is currently buried under baskets and baskets of clothing that needs folding, and why I am seriously thinking of getting still another dresser to contain MY clothing, since most of it can't hang in the closet.  Oh, and this ban on summer includes a trip scheduled for later this month to go spend several weeks visiting with Daddy, who is really looking forward to having some regular "family" time again, even if just for 2 or 3 weeks.  Until our part of the house is clean again, including under the beds and in closets, we will do nothing summer-y or fun.  Not a single thing.  And it's working so far.  The messiest of the two bedrooms is more than half done, which is a minor miracle considering at one point the one part was nearly 2-feet-deep in child-related detritus.  Yep, it was THAT bad.  O.o  So until further notice, none of the fun stuff on my summer-related Pinterest boards is being done.  Not a SINGLE one.  I'm really hoping it will all be done by Saturday though, we have a planned outting with some friends to go to one of the local Springs, and I _REALLY_ want to go!  So here's hoping we can get the 1 1/2 rooms left done before we go to bed Friday night!  :)  Wish us luck!
