I am living proof to what happens when you are gone for several weeks and leave boys in charge. Your house looks like it survived but lost a major natural disaster. My kitchen looked like it threw up all over itself and was getting ready to be sick again. Now don't get me wrong...food prep places were cleaned and wiped down but the junk and clutter was just....well a mess. I couldn't take it any longer. With my new attitude (remember yesterday's post?), I tackled the kitchen last night.
The first thing I did was to move everything off the kitchen counters...not an easy task. Junk had just started to multiply and collect all around. See below.....
If it didn't belong in the kitchen it got moved. You know....put away, give away, or throw away mentality? I use that coffee pot every once-in-a-while so it got moved out of the way to one of the higher cabinets. I have a kitchen step stool so it is as close as a step. My vitamins got moved to a cabinet instead of out in the open-- I originally did that so I wouldn't forget to take them. I remember a church lady would put all her pills in a case the night before so she would remember which ones to take during the day. I have a pill container and will start that routine! Next I wiped down every nook and cranny and cleaned the toaster oven. Then I put back just what I want to have on the counters.
I did the same for this rat's nest.
And tada....
Pure serenity.
One thing I didn't take a picture of was the floor. I want you Grainiacs to know I swept the floor and then got down on my hands and knees and wiped down every nook and cranny and floor space with a wash cloth and PineSol. What an accomplishment.....I can barely move this morning! LOL I think I'll go bathe in some bengay.
