A creative mess is better than tidy idleness...That is what Grandma B always said... 
...and I had to remember that when I walked into my kitchen this morning at 7 am... I will always support my children in their creative endeavours... but my poor kitchen was a mess!! I didn't even ask Tory what time she went home... She called me several times while I was at the group home....I know about midnight I asked her not to call again...I wanted to get some sleep!!
I think sacrificing my kitchen for the sake of creativity was worth the price... Tory did clean up 98% of the mess... she will argue this... but she did leave me some to clean up and a whole dishwasher to empty!!
