So today we had Merry Maids come to do some deep cleaning before our open house tomorrow. It will be the third open house, and the third time's a charm, right? The weather is supposed to be really nice, so that should get people out. Of course, the Bears play at 3:00, so that may be a bit of an impediment... But we're thinking positively. Even just one person coming in would be nice. The cleaners did a pretty nice job. The first thing I noticed was that the fans and window blinds look great. They also did an excellent job on the stove, microwave and toaster oven. Then I walked into the living room. I guess they got all the way under the couch....somewhere we hadn't been in a long, long time. They left two things on the coffee table that they found under there. The first was an old Franklin-chewed Frisbee. The second was this:
I must say, I was startled. I've cleaned a lot of nasty things out of the many fridges I've owned over the years. I would never try to fool anyone into thinking I was a neatnick, but this offended even my sensibilities. I don't even know when the last time Henry used a shortie bottle was. I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo, but there was some stuff dangling in there, and sort of a bead of goo coming out of the tip of the nipple. So, I don't know. Maybe this is just too much information to be sharing with whoever is reading this (Mom). But I think a blog should be about truth, and what is more truthful than letting people know about the funk under your couch? By the way...after taking the photo I threw the whole bottle away. There was no amount of sterilizing that was going to make me feel okay about using that thing.
