July 29, 2006 - 12 Signs You've Been Neglectful in Your Kitchen...
Your toddler isn't hungry at lunch because he's been snacking all morning off the food on the floor...
Instead of wiping the counter and table off, you'll make better time sweeping it...
Rather than sweeping the floor, you'll make better time vacuuming it...
There's
no silverware in the drawer, so you have to take silverware out of the
dishwasher, and then wash it (since the dishwasher hasn't run yet)...
You're okay with sharing your home with a mouse and/or other small rodents rationalizing, "Hey, at least THEY'RE picking up!"
There's more than one science project on mold in the fridge... and you're not studying mold in science...
You avoid cleaning out the fridge so it looks like you have a lot of food (and hey... the toddler's full!)
You
burn a candle that smells like food (apple pie, brownie, angel food
cake, etc.) so upon the visit of a surprise guest, it smells as if
you've been busy slaving away...
You turn the ceiling fan on so you can't see the layer of dust on the blades...
The dust bunnies are so big, your toddler has named them and affectionately refers to them as his pets...
You "self-clean" the oven and the children gather 'round to watch the "pretty fire" burn inside...
You take the phrase "spot cleaning" to a whole 'nother level... ("there's a spot that needs to be cleaned... there's another spot... oh, and I need to get thatspot...")
even though i'm a little late getting started, i really appreciate how much more mindful of things i've been. thank you so much for your detail and your ministry.
