Let me tell you, there will be no pictures of the battle I've been having this week.
I'm not sure if being short is an advantage or a disadvantage,
but I am winning.
I'm speaking of the battle with the grease monsters.
In our house we fry food at least once a week, sometimes twice.
I generally clean while I cook,
I do not stand on chairs while I cook,
but this week I reached up to grab something off the top shelf and
blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Gross, gross and more gross.
The last few days with a little amonia, and some scrubbing, the kitchen cabinets are looking better.
Next I should look at the top of the fridge.
This will take the small ladder or standing on the counter.
When you are as short as I am sometimes you live in an unknowing abyss about how clean things really are.
Please note, I am not a clean fanatic by any means, but there is a limit.
I do not think of myself as short until I realize how many surfaces I can not see while standing on the floor.
I remember getting on my hands and knees when a shorter person had moved something I could not find so I could see under.
Now I'm the short person and am wondering what everyone else sees that I am totally missing.
The more I stay home the more I can find to clean.
There may be hope for me in the end,
but for this week it's only one small battle,
and it's the grease monsters.

Good thing you have a tall daughter like me to see all that dirtiness and never even let you know :)
Julia's the only one in the house with the excuse that she's shorter than you are and couldn't see it. What excuse are the other members of the tribe using?
