Write a lamenting journal entry about my son's legos that are everywhere and driving me nuts. Give it a hopeful ending.
Oh, the ever-loving Legos! They are all over my house, scattered across the floor like some sort of minefield waiting to be tripped. They seem to have taken over the kitchen table, the coffee table, heck--any flat surface. The entire house! They have invaded every nook and cranny of my existence with their multi-colored bricks. And my son--oh my dear, dear son, he is the engineer of this chaos.

As I walk through the house, surveying the mess, I can't help but feel frustrated and annoyed. Every step must be calculated or it results in pain. Every movement must be carefully planned to avoid the Lego minefield. I feel like I am walking on eggshells, very small, hard plastic eggshells, afraid to disturb the delicate balance of bricks that are always piled just so and on the brink of collapse.

But it's not just the physical obstacles and foot pain that are wearing me down. It's the constant mess, the never-ending task of picking up after my son's chaos. The legos that seem to multiply like bunnies are everywhere, no matter how many I put them away, there are always more scattered about and no amount of organizing seems to help.

And yet, even as I lament the mess spread all around me, I can't help but smile at the thought of my son's love of his Lego and the joy and creativity they spark. He spends hours building these intricate structures. He imagines entire worlds and stories to match. His imagination is boundless in these Lego worlds, and he can get lost in them. His Legos are the tools to bring his ideas to life.

So I try to remind myself that this mess is a small price to pay for the joy and wonder that my son experiences when he plays with his legos. And who knows, maybe one day he'll be an architect, engineer, or master builder. Maybe he will create amazing works of art with these annoying plastic bricks that are taking over my life. I guess until then, I will just try to be patient, step wisely, and google lego storage and organization options.
