Tackle it Tuesday!

This Tackle It Tuesday is good for the soul! Healing I tell you! I'm on a mission to get my house in order...one Tuesday at a time! Here's today's mission - my 2 bathroom junk drawers full of nastiness!

Please turn your attention to the bottom photo....notice we keep Power Bars in our

bathroom junk drawers!

You never know when you might be sitting on the pot and have an overwhelming desire for a snack. Then look at that head band resting ever so comfortably on my.........FOOT FILE!!!!

EEEWWWWWWWWWW!

Now take a peak at this ancient find below. That, my friends, is a 20 year old jar of lip goop...YES....20 years old! I bought that goop when I was in HIGH SCHOOL! And I've kept it around all these years for reasons unknown! I have no idea. I don't wear it. I don't like it. I can't imagine that there will ever come a time that I'll find this particular shade of neon, glow-in-the dark, glimmering peach attractive. Not only is it 20 years old...but it has been moved to FIVE different places of residence! College dorm room, apartment #1, apartment #2, home #1, and here...our current home. It's been packed and unpacked FIVE different times. And I HAVE NOT USED IT SINCE I WAS SIXTEEN YEARS OLD!!!! What is wrong with me...what particular kind of sickness is this? Well. No more. I have officially laid that goop to rest. It's in the garbage. Where it belongs. And I'm feeling a little sad.....LMAO! And I repeat....what is WRONG with me.

So, anyway, I'm done and it only took me 15 minutes....

ahhhhhhhhhh.....that wasn't so bad.....I feel so much better!

Tackle it Tuesday

K...my New years resolution has fallen apart...I had high hopes of becoming more organized. I posted that goal on Jan 8th....I cleaned the kitchen junk drawer that day and cleaned out the baskets of hats, gloves and scarves the next....and....that was it. Completely forgot about my goals of organizing my house. So the kids drawer in their bathroom is still nasty. And then comes along "Tackle it Tuesday". The organizational Gods are trying to save me from myself. I told you my life is touched by Divine intervention as posted here, here, and here and this is Divine intervention at it's best tapping me on the shoulder to remind me to get my act together. So, for "Tackle it Tuesday" I finally got around to cleaning THIS:




Please take note of the crusty dried up toothpaste on the drawer....this picture really does it no justice as the REALLY bad clumps are actually underneath all the shit.....

Please also take note of the TOOTHbrush resting nastily (is that a word?) on the HAIRbrush

ahhhhhhhh......I feel so much better now...Tooth products in one compartment and hair product in another....and the sad thing is this task only took me about 10 minutes. Next weeks project....MY bathroom junk drawer. I may need to start now to finish by next week as I have a LOT more shit than my kids do!...wish me luck!
