DS Sean has always been very active, right from birth. As a young child he has always had to be doing something, and always a chatterbox. He is 19 now and has grown up to be the most wonderful young man. He still continues to be very active, but in the most inspiring way. When he gets bored around the home he goes on a spring cleaning frenzy. Between my work committments, designing and looking after Nuts4Digi I don’t have a lot of time to keep up with everything around the house. Don’t get me wrong. My house isn’t a wreck, but it is a very lived in home. This is where Sean’s cleaning frenzys come in handy. For example, I will keep clean up my kitchen but Sean will come in behind me and actually clear everything off the benchtops and put it all away to the point where my kitchen would look good in a glossy magazine.

He also loves to rearrange furniture. I can’t count the number of times that I have come home from work and everything in his bedroom is in the hallway and Sean is busy in his room cleaning everything, rearranging his wardrobe, vacuuming, even cleaning the window ledges. Now cleaning window ledges is something I haven’t done in a while. He will then put everything back into his bedroom & everything has it’s own place.

Yesterday I came home from work and Sean had rearranged my lounge room furniture. I was so pleased with the result. And he had rearranged it in a fashion that I had never even thought of. He has made the most inviting ‘nook’ by placing one of the lounge chairs near a front window with the bookshelf beside it. He has even retreived all of my scrapbooking magazines (that were in a huge pile beside my bedside table) and arranged them in the bookshelf. I can see myself nestled up in the chair on a sunny day reading a book, or even working away on my laptop.

It is going to be a very sad day when Sean finally leaves the nest and sets up a home of his own. The woman that snags Sean is going to be one very, very lucky lady.

What will I do without him?
