Day 1 as a housewife

Yesterday, Paul spilled an entire snack cup full of cheerios under the table. There were a lot of them and they were kind of hard to reach, so I got out the vacuum. There were clumps of cat hair on the carpet (and would be even if I vacuumed twice a day, WHY CAT WHY) so I made the kids pick up their toys and did the entire living room.

When I pushed the vacuum back to the corner of the kitchen where it lives, I noticed it's corner was dusty. So I hooked up the attachment and took care of it. Then I did the whole perimeter of the kitchen.

When I looked up I noticed a pile of crumbs on the counter and thought...why not? So I vacuumed all of the counter tops. I found this to be such a brilliant idea, I decided to try it on the pile of onion-skin detritus in the vegetable crisper.

And that is how I wound up vacuuming the entire interior of my refrigerator.

  1. This made me laugh out loud, in my cube at work. Mostly because it's totally something I would do. Though I can say that I haven't vacuumed the fridge before.

  2. This was like the housewife version of "If you give a Mouse a Cookie". I've definitely been in that slippery slope of cleaning before!

  3. Definitely never tried vacuuming my refrigerator. Although, I'm not much for vacuuming anyway.

  7. I totally laughed out loud at this one, too.

    And you have no idea who I am (I stumbled upon your blog via someone else's, but now I can't remember whose that was...), but I've just finished reading your entire archives while sick in bed. I am seriously glad that you wrote several times that you read blog archives straight through, too, because it made me feel much less stalker-y about it. Haha. ;-)
