Last night I forgot to take the cans out, which is kind of really bad because our trash can barely fits one week’s worth of trash and could never accommodate two week’s worth (it has a false bottom, so it’s only half as deep as it looks), and our recycle bin has been smelling rank all week.
I was so mad at myself when I woke up. I have never forgotten to take the cans out. Never. Why did I forget last night?!
I ended up triple bagging the trash and taking it in my car down to work where I quietly threw it into our dumpster. Definitely not allowed, but I don’t regret it. We’re going to have to deal with the rank smell in the recycle bin for a week longer…
Tonight I spent some time on a Spirit Week flier that I’m really liking. I want our school to have more spirit this year, and I think this will be a decent way to kick start it.
I love October and I know a lot of kids do too. I hope this week is fun, and that yearbook gets lots of pictures! I just put up my Día de los Muertos decorations at school, so I’m feeling ready.
If cans are nasty SF has program for cleaning the cans. I do not think you or your husband have the time to self do it. Makes a HUGE difference. A nice one. I used to do mine but I had the time and a hose that made it easy. YOU HAVE NO TIME.
Totally applaud your efforts at school spirit and bringing Joy to the end of this month.
Wrote in a.m. ,but I guess it disappeared. This is summary.
I love October too, and your Spooky Spirit week sounds awesome.
WHY does your garbage can have a false bottom? Our can is big enough that we can forget a week and still be okay- but the garbage gets pretty gross in there. Also, our trash and recycling pickup is late enough in the morning that if we wake up and realize we forgot, we can still get the cans out. There was one incident, which will live in infamy, where we forgot to put the recycling out. The next week we were out of town on recycling day, the next week it fell on Christmas Day, and the NEXT week it fell on New Year’s Day. It was a COMPLETE FIASCO.
