[...] the icky leftovers from last week still in the refrigerator, waiting to be thrown out. (Hat tip to Momalom Sarah’s clean fridge!) And every day I put off making that stressful phone call, I start the next day [...]

Life in the country is slow, and so is the garbage service (which, unlike cable, at least we can get). Ours comes once a week, and if things get too stinky in the can outside, animals are more likely to tear into it. To keep the smelly funk to a minimum in my kitchen, I put all rotting food into the freezer. This usually results in my forgetting that it’s there for at least once trash cycle, but as far as I know we’ve never accidentally thawed it out for dinner…

This was so much fun to read today! I, too, had (note the past tense) a horribly, disgusting refrigerator. But yesterday I cleaned, and tossed, and scoured. You could eat off my frig (which is probably a good thing) right now it’s so squeaky clean. You go, Mom!

I, too, have written a post about my disgusto-fridge.

Congrats on cleaning and righting that small small piece of chaotic mama-land. However fleeting it may be…

Oh, I love this and can totally relate. It is practically an everyday occurrence that Toddler says to me, “Mommy, I wanted a cow sippy yogurt but they were no good. Daddy and had to throwed them out.” And then I promptly apologize for being a terrible mother. (In my head, of course.) Our fridge is a constantly sad state of affairs. It is usually 80% empty with the exception of rotting items and expired condiments.

So, no, you are not alone :)

I always have an old jar of tomato sauce rotting, as well as other sorts of condiments. But I’m not lucky enough to have a fancy bottle of Veuve Cliquot, too! Whew!

There is always something growing in my fridge. I am the worst cleaner-outer EVER. There have even been times when I have thrown away Tupperware because I was too afraid to open it up. (That has happened more than once, I am embarrassed to say…)

I’m so glad I’m not the only one!

One of my best friends is always talking about “the pressure of the produce!” She’s asked me about a bajillion times if I feel “PRESSURE ABOUT THE PRODUCE.” It’s always a hysterical, down-to-earth conversation wherein we admit how optimistic we are while shopping, and how unrealistic we turn out to be when the tomatoes go mushy and the potatoes grow ears.

Ah, life. I love love love that we are all in it together. And really, though this is just a silly little post, it is my favorite in such a long time because THIS IS LIFE and LIFE IS MESSY!

And all of it is A-OK!
