I don't know whether it was shame or inspiration, but when Wife got up we were discussing her family since she had talked to her sister and we got on the younger sister's younger boy, let's call him Baby A. Apparently, he has become the little entrepreneur, making thousands of dollars cutting grass, shrubs, trees and doing anything that can be done. He even likes getting into projects inside and was the main push in getting the floors done from carpet to wood at me in-laws. Wife started saying he was busting balls and how he even tells my mother-in-law that she needs to keep the kitchen cleaner or he will take over. I then looked around and said "man, we need him around here" jokingly to Wife. This got Wife all inspired and got her going saying we were going to spend the day cleaning the kitchen.
We have a huge pantry and we pretty much took everything out. Turns out, we have like 5 blenders, there was a 4 bread toaster, and an oven toaster, while we have another toaster oven on the counter. The main reason for moving everything out is Boy considers himself a master chef and has kitchen appliances such as an air fryer, an ice cream machine, 2 different coffee machines even as I have a coffee machine that can make a pot or by the Kierig cup. He also has a huge blender/mixer thing and any other thing you can imagine.
We probably started at 1:00pm and worked at it until 6:00pm. It is one of those things I didn't want to start but I was glad to be done afterwards. While I was dealing with the pantry, Wife and the boys also tackled the lower kitchen cabinets which had so much stuff. We found like five or six different cameras, including my underwater 35mm one, a Pokémon one, a first generation Sony digital camera, a Polaroid type, and others. I even found my $200 Sennheiser headphones I had just been wondering about where they had gone.
The trash can might be full and we still have another couple bags of trash, but now we have space to hide everything, including the sodas that we had gotten used to keeping up and in the middle of our sightlines, the cereal boxes can also be put away instead of blocking the counter where I keep my coffeemaker.
Wife says now she wouldn't be embarrassed of having Baby A come visit. BTW, I like to call him Midsized A. I have a hard time calling someone Baby anything when I have to look up to see his face and his dad is already called A, so I call him midsized A.
