Clean

Today Jack and Julia and I spent the entire morning and the better part of an afternoon cleaning.  We didn't just clean though we deep cleaned the refrigerator (how long has it been?) and the pantry and numerous cabinets and drawers.  It felt great when we were finished but also a bit frustrating knowing all of the other corners that we didn't get to.   I honestly can't believe we are such pigs.  I was scrubbing the inside of the fridge for over an hour - dried butter and drips of who knows what.  We had condiments dating back to 2003 and cake mixes and jello boxes we have had for who knows how long.  Next time you admit you are my friend or relative you may want to say it quietly for fear of embarrassment.  I do have to say it was a great time with the kids.  I didn't hear one complaint and we had some bonding time over the rotten lettuce....

The fridge always amazes me... it's fine for awhile and then out of no where (it seems) it gets disgusting. I don't understand it. I always feel so great after it's clean but getting jazzed up to do it is another story. Yuck. Glad you had fun doing it this time!
