We bought this plant at IKEA (of all places!) a little less than 5 years ago.
We thought it would be a small houseplant that we would kill in just a
matter of time. Needless to say, it has grown huge and we haven't killed
it, but we
have NO idea what it is. We've always kept it inside, but it is getting so
big now, it will be up to our ceiling in just a matter of months and then
what? HELP, any ideas??? Let me know if you think you need me to
post a picture of a close up of anything. I just really want to know what
the heck this is. Thanks!

Looks like a Schefflera, AKA umbrella tree. A very leggy Schefflera.
If it's the most common sort, S. actinophylla, it really wants to be a
tree (up to 40 feet tall).
