DOES THIS CHILD REALLY BELONG TO ME

I spent the day with my daughter at her condo helping her clean out under her kitchen sink her bathroom sink and her linen closet. She is so disorganized. There were two and three bottles of the same cleaning stuff under the sinks. So I combined everything that I could. She is nothing like me. I have to have everything in my closets and drawers in order. All of the same kinds of things in the same place. She is very much willy nilly when it comes to this stuff. While we were doing this she was doing laundry, something that she has neglected lately. Like I said in my last post she is having trouble with time management. Two jobs and a new boyfriend. It was a beautiful day so we were able to open doors and windows and air her place out. She washed her duvet cover and changed the sheets on her bed. I remember when I was first married and I guess even to this day I have a tendancy let my refrigerator shelves get a little messy and I sometimes am too lazy to wipe off the bottles and jars before I put them back in the refrigerator. The refrigerator is very organized, i.e., the jellys are together, the condiments are together, etc. So when I was first married, and probably up until my mother died; whenever my mother came to visit she would clean up the refrigerator. I loved it. My daughter has the same habit of letting her refrigerator go and if it wasn't for the fact that her boyfriend just cleaned up her refrigerator I probably would have done the same thing for her. So I guess my original question as to whether this child really belonged to me, the answer is yes!! We took a little break to get a Starbucks and mosey around Marshall's for a bit and then she took me home. My daughter had stayed with us last night, still not feeling 100% and the boyfriend was on an overnight for his job.
