The Divorce Room....**

Since LEGS and I have been together it has been a very long challenging road as far as his cleaning/organizational skills are concerned......The first time I asked him to clean the bathroom he was using the toilet brush to clean everything.......FOR REAL!!!  Today.....81/2 years later he has made very big improvements and has developed into a more socialized companion.  

We still have a few issues that need to be worked out and I am hoping an overseas move will demonstrate why being organized and clean are so important.  One issue is the garage which- I had to clean and organize back in Alaska (it was like special education- I will admit I had no idea what more than half his sh*t is!)-but am firmly refusing to do here- since there are things crawling around in that garage that I do not have the capacity or expertise to deal with.  

The second issue we have is THE DIVORCE ROOM.  The DIVORCE ROOM is LEGS' room in the house, it looks like the ARMY, the Marines, Lance Armstrong, a Gun Fanatic, and avid Outdoors man threw up in it.  Since this is part of the inside of the house- I have tried a range of experiments to keep it clean.  First was giving him a clean slate- by cleaning and organizing it in the first place and then begging him to keep it nice.  The second one was making him clean it, the third was helping him clean it, and NOW it is NOT letting him in it.......do you think this will work??? If it doesn't I fear I will burn the house DOWN!!!

I am feeling a lot better today.  I got the DIVORCE ROOM clean and ready to pack, which means I have half the house ready. I have spoken to several people who lived in Germany about my Tank and my Boo Boo Karmella.  They said just take them- it won't hurt anything.  I told LEG's last night that I don't mind selling the FJ if that's what he wants to do.  At the end of the day I just want LEGS and ARMS to be HaPPy in Germany.  

One of the people I spoke to about it was Jason, Flora's husband.  He is a real cool dude, funny as hell!!! He was so helpful and encouraging.  He calmed a lot of my anxieties and was a hero to me today.  Sometimes I am so amazed at how wonderful, kind and generous your friends in the military can be.......It makes me so proud to be part of this. **
