So today was my first day of The Martha Challenge. Oh- Man I am beat! So AS you can see I cleaned up my kitchen.. painted the shelves above the stove. Placed white uniform dishes above the stove (which are new from Ikea). I have placed my cooking utensils in their separate containers. Martha has suggested that the wooden spoons and brushes be placed in one, and the stainless steel in an other. Tiny touches like cleaning my windowsill and putting pots with herbs on the there. I did "Audit the pantry" which was very gross. I did not realize I had canned goods from 2002. Ahhh!! I also cleaned and deodorized the dishwasher. It was good. It almost felt as if I was moving back into the kitchen again. You can't help but want to organize the cupboards and the fridge. But all in due time. It's on her checklist.
I also made her broccoli soup for dinner. I needed something waay easy and good. It took me 30 min, and my kids ate it up! SURPRISE!
All in all I did not feel over-whelmed. Which was great. Tired... ready to clock out and take a bath. But feeling good.
Oh- did I mention, that Ben and I are doing p90x in the morning before all of this crazy cleaning happens.
Now as far as the rest of the house.. total disaster. But who cares. My kitchen is wonderful, and cleaned and a little refreshed. Maybe that is where I will sleep tonight
Goodnight
