The Mess Fairy

So I just read Fritz and the Mess Fairy by Rosemary Wells to the kids. I can so identify with Fritz! He leaves a mess everywhere he goes. One night the Mess Fairy comes and makes a BIG mess (science experiment gone bad) so he reverses the experiment and gets rid of her. He feels bad about the mess he made all over the house that day so he stays up the rest of the night cleaning. In celebration of his accomplishment he decides to make breakfast in bed for his family that he loves. And in the process, creates another big mess.

Just like me - good intentions mixed with a slobbish tendency and the mess wins out!
