Isn't it ironic?

One of the great ironies here is that since CPS' involvement in our lives began, quality interaction with my children has greatly decreased. All craft projects ceased, because they make too much mess. Today I would love to sit and play legos and color with the kids (I'm really tempted to do it too!) but I can't because yesterday while I was cleaning the downstairs they trashed their bedrooms again. So we have to spend today upstairs cleaning. I just can't risk having a mess anywhere now. It's actually pretty depressing.
