So the day starts out well, I get to sleep in a couple of extra hours before heading off to work. (I clean cabins saturday mornings with my two sisters) Of course this is the 4th of July weekend so of course there are lots of families with small children. Small messy children. (Everything is sticky!) Small very very messy children. (People wonder why old hags don't like small children, it's because they are messy and want to play 24/7. (I perfectly understand why the old witch with the candy house wanted to eat hansel and gretel, although I don't think I could get past the whole cannablism bit, nor the killing of a fellow species...witches aren't human...making them play in a room made of easy cleanable material or a room that is easy to hose down would be my suggestion. But no...there is no such thing at all...) So I take over the dishes...which is better than cleaning the bathrooms, or making beds...usually...(mind you this is the largest cabin at the camp...meaning it has more dishes than the other cabins....meaning more dishes for people to use than the other cabins...mind you it was the fourth of July weekend and everyone with small children feel it is right and good to bake and bake and bake and further use every single dish and utensil they can possible find and dirty it, then attempt to clean some then hide the dirty ones behind the clean ones, then go back home chuckling, thinking they were oh so smart because they hide the dirty dishes on the unsuspecting niave maids who will have to clean up the mess.) So there are mounds of dishes and it takes me longer to do the dishes then it does for three people to clean 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a front room and the rest of the kitchen, complete with basic appliances (microwave stove coffee pot toaster frig.) It wasn't just the dishes either. My sister spent an hour at least cleaning the oven and stove top...ok slight exaggeration, but it was really really really messy. So therefore I dubbed this particular kitchen the Kitchen of Doom and referred to it as the kitchen of Doom because it must have spread its influence to the other two kitchens I cleaned today, for they were almost as bad. It was so bad that dishes that never get touched (ie. cheese grater, ice cream scoop, muffin pans, and bread pans) were all dirty. Honestly who has a frickin bake off on the 4th of July??? They must have had a competition on who could bake the most muffins...because I washed too many muffin pans today to think otherwise. I would've rather had them in the mood for pie, because pie plates are easier to clean, but no muffins...not the dinky 6-muffin tin...no the 24muffin tin. As in 24 little holes to clean out on one side and 24 little hills to clean on the other. Plus completely dry it. Do you have any idea how time consuming it is to DRY a muffin tin? There is always one little crevice that you miss and when you tip it to check the other side, water runs all over it again. You can spend a good 15-20 minutes just on the stupid muffin tin. And yes I have done my best to HIDE the muffin tins, under the rectangle pans and do you think that works? NO it does not...not when you have a Kitchen of Doom working against you. And those are just the dishes...the stove, the refrigerator, and toaster are all different stories. But nothing is as evil as a muffin tin!
Happy 4th!
(oh and I love muffins...I have nothing against muffins...I just hate muffin tins)

The world wide survey my friends and I conducted my freshmen year of high school unfortunately didn't expand past my class. Our goal was to prove that Cheese is more popular than Chicken, (and together they are the best). So here I ask everybody: Chicken or Cheese?*
