This is one of those blah, blah, blah blogs. So you can skip it. I just need to get it out.
I spent almost the entire day cleaning while helping and cajoling my children to finish up their school assignments for the day/week. What started this fall cleaning frenzy was a purchase and my cupboard(s) with all the containers and lids, etc. I should have taken a picture. It was disaster on steroids! I have just purchased a whole new set of Tupperware Vent n Serves (which are my favorite microwave cooking dishes and I never seem to have enough of them), plus Tupperware has just brought back the Stack n Serve which is my ALL TIME FAVORITE microwave cooking dish. (This is for hostesses only and boy was I glad I was a hostess during this campaign.)
Anyway, back to the cleaning, I was looking for all the Tupperware lids and the lids that go with all the other accumulated containers. One of my children and I managed to make several Leaning Towers of Pisa out of containers. They toppled and had to be picked up. I couldn't find some of my Vent n Serves, so I went looking for them. Of course, they were hiding in the refrigerators. That meant cleaning the refrigerators. As I was cleaning out the refrigerators, there were dishes that needed to be washed, so I did dishes several times today also. (My oldest can thank be later :o).)
The good things are my clean refrigerator, several organized cupboards, (exercise - but don't tell), and found Tupperware companions. Oh, and I almost cleared an entire counter. With containers better organized there is now - miraculously - more cupboard space (which will be better organized once I get more information on the Tupperware Modular Mates).
As it came on 5pm and I was finishing up, the most horrible thought (for me) came to my mind - "Ah! What if this is a nesting instinct and I'm pregnant!" So, what is the equivalent to the pre delivery nesting instinct in pre menopausal women called?
