Life is Sweet

I've been absent this past week, working away hard on decluttering my house. I started with a schedule, certain that I could have the upstairs and main floor done in a week. Well I'm almost there, the top floor of the house is complete, three bedrooms and two bathrooms decluttered! What a great feeling when I walk upstairs and look around, everything in it's place and a place for everything. Yesterday I started on the kitchen, I love that my kitchen is square (with three sides) however, the man that designed this kitchen put in dead corners instead of corner cabinets. Everything gets pushed into the corners and it's impossible to see what is in the cupboard. I threw away three bags of garbage yesterday, shameful. Recently we have put ourselves on a cash budget and it's forcing me to buy only what we need, hopefully this will help keep the kitchen decluttered and keep us from wasting food.

This morning Matt wanted an English muffin with honey, while he was eating, I thought that this might be a good time to clean out the toaster before I put it back in the cupboard. Usually I forget and the bottom will open on it's own (always when I'm in a hurry or bad mood) and crumbs fall all over the counter and floor. So today I opened the toaster over the sink and gave it a shake, nothing happened, all the crumbs stayed inside the toaster, perplexed I looked a little closer, the crumbs seem to glisten. Strange. Upon further investigation it was noted that someone poured honey into the toaster, someone was probably just trying to be helpful, you know help Mummy out a little because we know how upset she gets when crumbs fall all over the counter, or maybe it was a science experiment, what will happen if we pour honey into the toaster? Anyway it prompted a discussion on fire and why it is not a good idea to mix liquids and electricity and what would happen if our house caught on fire. Life is sweet, indeed.
