So I decided a little tidying up was necessary today. Okay not really. I just got really really mad, and you’d be amazed and how quick and efficient one becomes when angry. The day started off pretty normal. We went and ran some errands in town, we were gone about two hours. On the way home, Caleb fell asleep over near Greek Row, coming through campus, literally about two minutes from the house. Well he decided to substitute a five minute nap, for his usual 2 hour nap. Travis took the cake though, by shitting all over the back porch. I was thrilled to say the least. Toddler went in playpen. Dog went out. I…well I cleaned. Like never before. I was throwing things away left and right. I was actually very wasteful, but I just can’t have piles all over needing to go to goodwill or needing to be sold online, etc. I just needed it gone. Period. So things are a little neater now, and I have a tad more room. I also decided to convert our hanger collection to all plastic. There is nothing to make me irritated like a big pile of wire hangers. They drive me insane. Plastic ones don’t tangle as easily, so plastic it is. I was surprised to find that after throwing out a bunch of old and tattered clothing, I had nearly enough plastic hangers for everything. I have about 20 things left on wire, but they are low access items…meaning they are not frequently used.

I even tackled the kitchen cabinets and threw out old stale crackers and such. I found three jars of leftover baby food. The little guy was not impressed. The minute amount that was eaten was globbed on to goldfish via a slinging spoon. Oh, what flavor, you ask? Banana Apple Yogurt. On flavor blasted cheddar goldfish. A delectable treat.
