Teenage Girls

Need I say anymore? The title of this post says it all.

However! I am not going to leave it at that, because I am sure mentally that will not be enough for me to get it off my chest. I woke up this morning, took a peek in Alexa's room and got instantly angry. I KNOW Lavin's is worse, so I didn't even go in there. I went downstairs, grabbed a huge handful of trash bags with drawstrings and went back to face that disaster of a room.

We have lived in this house almost 10 months now. I watched it be built from the concrete pad and up. I was so happy that I would have a clean house with no one else's dirt or energy. I told myself I was not going to let my kids ruin my brand new house. Well, not even a year into it and I am not happy at all.

I started by stripping the bed, throwing the bedding downstairs to wash. My girls are so weird. They don't like the regular mattress pad, sheets, blanket, comforter thing. NO, Alexa sleeps on top of it all and covers up with even more bedding. Lavin sleeps on the mattress with nothing on it at all, which I find extremely weird. She has dirty gross bedding and old comforters along with pillows with no pillowcases on them. I'm sorry. I just can't stand it anymore. After that, I took the trash bags and went through different parts of the room and just put absolutely everything into the bags. It took me several bags and lots of time. I was grossed out at all the dirty clothes stuffed in different places. Oh, I can't even talk about what I saw/found because it is just purely disgusting and ticks me off to think about it.

Then I took the mattress and moved it out into the hallway. I made a long list of what they have to do in the order I want it as far as putting things back. I am expecting that they should be throwing away at least half of the crap I found. Lavin has boxes, bags, and things like that from clothes she bought years ago. Ewwwwwwwww. Reminded me of Aunt Dot when I cleaned out her trailer before she died. She had stuff like that in there and I remember thinking that I am NOT going to hold on to crap. Scary.

It has been about 4 hours now and Alexa will be coming home from school in about an hour. I plan to be gone so that she doesn't scream at me because I will probably just drag the bags outside and tell her to leave if she doesn't like it. Lavin is almost 19, so it is very possible she will freak out enough that she will just take her stuff and move in with her other friends. As much as I feel that would be a huge mistake, I would have a new office and a clean room. Time to grow up Lavin.

Well, once again, complaining on here doesn't really make me be able to let it go. I am just more upset now thinking about how they do not respect my home at all. Tonight should be interesting around here.
