The Kitchen...

Well, I finally have it back under control. It looks so much better! I still need to scrub the floors and counters, but I will get to that this morning, after the kids have left for school. I think I will spend tomorrow working on reorganizing all the cabinets.

I have cabinets under the bar that have stuff in there from when we first moved in 2 years ago. I don't think I've even bothered to look in there since! So that stuff needs gone through and tossed. I also need to rethink the food cabinets. I only use two for groceries (they are REALLY big and go all the way to the ceiling), but it isn't very well thought out. I may need to spread out to another cabinet so that I can reach everything. I don't have a stepstool in the kitchen and rely on DD15 (she's 6 ft tall!) to reach many items that I need. I have pots and pans in my lower cabinets that I never use, so they will get tossed. The only "extra" pots that I WON'T toss are my stockpots. I use 2 at a time at least once each week, and then I have one more smaller one that gets used on occation. The smaller one is in better condition and used to belong to my grandmother, but that isn't the only reason for keeping it. Come Thanksgiving, I need all my big pots at one time!

Well, time to get the girls up and ready for school. Thay have only a half-day today, so will be home at lunchtime. Then they are out on Friday and Monday. So it's going to be a VERY long weekend for me. I'll post more later if DH will let me on the computer! LOL
