Shiva revisited

You may have heard of Shiva, the Hindu goddess of destruction. Granted, I am fairly ignorant of Hinduism, but "destruction" seems a fairly clear word. There are those who say Shiva destroys evil, and that Shiva also creates, but, lets face it, destruction is destruction. Simple.

So what do I do about my delightful daughter, who did this (below) to the furniture from my living room?













Before that, the dining room used to be a nice room--it used to look like this....













After we dealt with that mess, she did THIS to my dining room!












All of that lead to THIS..............................................and THIS


However, the final result was THIS.

Maybe there's something to the creation side of of the goddess of destruction after all.




However, we still call Julie "Shiva"



Did I mention that my mother just told me that when I was a kid I started stripping the wallpaper off her bedroom wall so she would start repainting?......
