T minus five days on this cleaning up messes b.s. You seriously deserve some sort of special medal for reading this month.

I cleaned my nightstand. Yes, we have two nightstands in our room, but Jeff’s contained a PS3, a pair of headphones, lip balm, and a coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond. Seriously.

So, here’s mine.

That is indeed a gigantic tube of decorative icing on my nightstand AND LET ME EXPLAIN.  When Zoe and I went on her field trip at the outdoor adventure center that is in the middle of nowhere mountain town USA, I envisioned her having extreme low blood sugars and no supplies.  If she is unable to swallow and unconscious, I am supposed to use a fast acting sugar in between her gums and her cheek.

I bought the largest tube of frosting I could find because I like to be prepared even though this has never once happened or even come close to happening.

When I unpacked my suitcase, I left it on the nightstand because I am lazy and it looks like lotion so I knew Troy wouldn’t eat it.

I also have glucose gel, glucose tabs, lemon water that looks like urine, a tape measure, nose spray, a dry erase marker, a first aid kit, ENOUGH WITH THE CLUTTER.

Inside isn’t much better.

I read my Encyclopedia Of Dreams huffing my essential oils (bottom right) by the light of my flashlight.

I don’t even know how this stuff got in my nightstand, I really don’t.

I put back the things I use or might need to use, like the glucagon and the glucose tabs.  I put the decorative icing in the kitchen and everything else away somewhere else that wasn’t my nightstand.

And the bottom drawer has nothing, you guys.  Nothing!

I win at nightstands.

I also refrained from just putting everything in Jeff’s nightstand and calling it a day.

For 31 days, I’m tackling the Hot Mess.  Read all about it here.
