Thank god for snow days! Yesterday was a lovely frigid day with millions of tiny frozen rain drops pelting the earth causing school officials to cancel our day-yay!!!! Living in Texas this really doesn't happen often so I felt it was important for me to take advantage of this extra time and, well....hang out with my kids. To top it off it was also my baby's 3rd birthday! What a gift no daycare just a day with Mom, Dad and big sister hanging out, watching movies and making a cake.
I did manage to clear out several shelves in my bathroom linen closet while the kids napped yesterday afternoon. I would seriously like to know how we accumulated an entire trash bag FULL of expired lotions, old make-up, cough drops, and other miscellaneous junk. We have only lived here for 4 years and I KNOW I didn't move that much crap with us last time, so where did it all come from?? Oh, and did I mention I now have to find proper disposal for a shopping bag full of expired medications? I found the iron pills left over from after the baby was born as well as a full bottle of pills the doctor had prescribed for a headache that wouldn't go away while I had been pregnant (and yes the baby is three now- so you can see how often I clear out my medicine cabinet). How did we get so many bottles of pills? Are the pain relievers and Pepto-Bismo breeding in there? What kind of twisted medication would they produce? I am really very curious to know how normal civilians keep their closets clean when they don't have the threat of an impending move forcing them to clean-out at least once every few years. Dear God... What will I do when he retires and I can actually live in a house for 10 or 20 years? Will the closets be bursting from the pressure of Motrin bottles and dietary supplements? I can see the headlines now... Family killed, crushed by falling Colace!
