It’s the live-action version of Where’s Waldo?ย  Seriously our bunny is in this pic. ย The first person to find Hugh wins.

Meanwhile I’m going to clean this room and play: How-soon-will-I-need-Antibiotics?

  1. right in front of the chair i win

    1. There is no chair – you LOSE! Actually, it’s a table but there’s so much crap on it it probably looks like a chair. So you WIN!

  2. looks like my kids’ rooms when they lived at home. looks like my kids’ rooms where they live now.

    1. Hahaha what IS it with kids?

      1. ๐Ÿ˜† I dunno. Some things never change, no matter how old they are. Oh. Wait. I wonder if my mother thought that about ME?? Nah.

      2. I hope this changes(!) or I’m wearing a hazmat suit to her house : )

      3. oh, you have a hazmat suit too? ๐Ÿ˜†

  3. Funny, I was just going to say, “There’s a chair?”

  4. I found him! I found him! But I thought it was a chair too. LOL! Anna’s room looks like mine when I was growing up. And now MY daughter’s looks like that. Must be genetic. ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. I love the book on the floor, titled, “Farts”. Fitting…

    1. Oh believe it. That was the #1 Christmas gift last year. Note: it was not from me haha : )

  6. He’s right next to the sneaker, and he’s black and white.

    1. You’re the 3rd winner! Excellent work : )

      1. Yay! Cute bunny BTW. And good luck with cleaning up.

      2. Thanks! I need it!

  7. Your room looks like it is aseptic, as if noone and nothing could live there – her room looks like some of life’s adventures are planned and done there.

  8. Has there been a hurricane? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    1. Yes. It’s called Hurricane Anna. Hey I wrote a post with that very title. It was a different kind of hurricane. She’s very diverse : )

      1. Hahaha! I bet. I used to have a messy sister – left her bloody socks everywhere!

  9. i love the “apple sometimes really does fall far from the tree” reference. my daughter has had a day planner since 7th grade. i’ve never had one because, as i’ve always said, i don’t need a day planner to let me know when the last minute is. i’m going in for a minor medical procedure this week so i’m finally getting around to my spring cleaning. from two years ago, that is.

    1. Hahahha when the last minute is – I love it! Thanks for reading and chiming in : )

  10. Is there a book called “Farts” on the floor? That’s somewhat like a rabbit.

    1. You know there is. That’s how we roll over here : )

  11. Anna’s room looks like a clean version of mine right now, and it drives my dad nuts. I think your apple/orchard theory may be correct.

    1. Hahaha omg that’s hilarious. I abandoned the notion of cleaning her room today. She can do it when she comes home tomorrow. Oy vey.

      1. I warn you. Her cleaning “effort” will never match your standards. But good luck anyways! ;D

      2. Truer words will never be spoken hahaha

  12. I’m late to the party and see that others have already mentioned her fine taste in literature. FARTS is also on my daughter’s bookshelf. Who doesn’t think farts are funny? They just are. Always have been. Always will be.

    I have two daughters. One keeps her room in meticulous condition. The other has a more casual approach to housekeeping. Like the example above.

    1. Hahaha I’m so glad we’re not alone in our obsession with farts and Anna’s “casual approach to housekeeping.” Awesome! Always great to see your name pop up, Mark : )

  13. I’m not tidy, but even I’m a little put off by the state of this mess. Well done, Anna.

    1. I abandoned her room after 4 mins haha. We’re doing it today TOGETHER when she’s home to enjoy the hippie party : )

      1. Part of me was judging you a little bit for not making her clean pigsty herself, so kudos to you. You sit on that bed with your rabbit and glass of wine and supervise while she does all the hard work. That’s good parenting.

      2. Right? She’s never going to learn if I do it for her. So I cleaned out the garage and the basement instead. Sometimes I just have to get my clean on : )

  14. Of course your daughter has a book entitled Farts!

  15. Haha– my room looks much more like your daughters than yours ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. I guess I’ll cut her some slack then, because you’re awesome!
