The not so glamourous day

Today is just one of those days where try as I might I can't bring myself to get dressed. it's not that I'm being lazy, I just have so much to do before I can even take a shower and I keep thinking how getting dressed to deep clean the house sounds ridiculous. Especially when it is so hard to scrub the floor on your hands and knees in a dress. But I did it, I got up, put on a pair of jeans, my Babe with the Power tee, my ballet flats, put on some earrings, threw a scarf around my hair, and added a bit of makeup. I am now ready to go tackle the top of the fridge for my 40 bags in 40 days challenge.

You can read all about it here.

Day 1 brings me to the top of my fridge. While I started clearing it off a few weeks ago it was never completed and honestly the last time it was fully cleared off  was when we got it 2 years ago.  

 Yup gross right, the closed cupboard was all our bar ware but I needed more shelf space for my vintage dishes as well as all my cake stands. The first thing I really need to do for the top of the fridge is to put all the meds away somewhere else. I have a cute little chicken drawer that I started putting the cold and pain meds in. It wasn't the real purpose I bought it for but it'll work for now.

 

Don't mind the colors, my dining room is yellow wall with a red table cloth.

Now I just need to find out where to put all the vitamins, for now they are in a small tote bin and out of the way. Next stop in the shelving area... more shelves in the master bathroom. Till then I will place this out of the way of the cleaning progress. and get back up to the fridge. I am so short I had to make sure it was ok with the hubby that I climbed on top of the fridge to get the cupboard and back of the fridge washed. He totally freaked at my last major cupboard cleaning when I hung off the shelves in order to clean the ceiling.

 

Yup that's me dangling 2 feet off my counter while my oldest takes a pic to send to Hubby. We thought it was funny he did not. Could also be because I had asked him to do it the night before and he forgot. 

So a few hours and a brief cleaning hiatus, later I can proudly say the fridge is cleared and the shelves have space. The hubby can decide if he wants to keep the oddball glasses or toss them. 

But there you have it, I did it. While most everything went into the trash not a donate pile some stuff only the hubby can say if it goes or not. I was also able to go through a few of the office boxes thanks to the kids and their awesome help. Tomorrow's task... the main dish cabinet. FUN FUN!!!
