Can this be my DD?!

I haven't been home much all week, so I have been spending the morning trying to restore some semblance of order to my house. My DD15 has a friend coming home from school with her this afternoon and she has her first date with her new bf this evening, so that was another part of my motivation. Well, I've posted on here before about what an utter disgrace my DD's bedroom and bathroom normally are. Imagine my shock when I walked into her room to empty her wastebasket and it was neat as a pin....no clothes on the floor or any surfaces, no water bottles or snack wrappers lying around, and the biggest surprise is that she actually CLEANED her bathroom sink and vanity!! Can it be that I am raising a decent human being after all?? I feel like I must be dreaming!

Isn't it nice to discover that they do eventually "get it"?
What a pleasant surprise! Now, if you "gush" about it when your dd gets home from school, maybe she'll do it again. Otherwise, the cleanliness may "come and go", lol!

I'm not a "neatnik" either, but it is gratifying to know that she realizes, at least, that she should straighten up for company....without even being told to do so!! I'm still smiling....
