If you give a mom a shoe rack.
She will find that not all of her shoes fit.
She will want another shoe rack.
So she will have to clean her closet to make room.
She will have to find a new home for her drop spindles.
Then rearrange another closet before she can move things.
She will find enough stuff to fill three boxes for charity.
She will make the dad drop it off that very day.
Then she will have to organize two baskets full of fiber and a three drawer basket cart full of fiber.
She will find a missing Turkish Drop Spindle.
This will lead to a bedspread needing to be washed, but that's another story.
The cart fits where it is supposed to go. Happy dance!
But wait, there is a pile of stuff that needs new homes, both in and out of the house.
After two and a half hours mom is too tired to move.
There is still not enough room in the closet for a shoe rack.
One room is clean.
One room is a big mess in progress, watch where you step and turn on the light before you enter.
Just who's idea was it to let mom have a new shoe rack anyway?
We might as well let mom have the second shoe rack.
Let's just wait and see what leaves the house to make room for the second shoe rack.
More on The Dangers of Shoe Racks tomorrow.
