What's in your Trash Can?

I didn't go walking today. Actually, since Monday. I have no excuse. I'm just plain old unmotivated. I am behind folding two loads of laundry and I washed two more loads today and I had to get that done. The van needed a "bath" so bad that you can't almost see through the window. Yes, so instead of walking...I was able to wash and fold the laundry instead.

When the kids came home from school...that's when I got all 4 loads of laundry folded. So, the highlight of my day was...cleaning our stinky garbage can.

I usually don't clean the inside of our garbage can regularly ...just when it is really gross. Well, this time it was beyond really gross! There were maggots crawling out of that thing. It was smelly and just pure disgusting. EEEEEEwWWWWW!

So, here is my attempt to clean out that smelly trash can. I put on several layers of latex gloves on. It smelled like the stinky market in the Philippines. Sad to say but true. I open the lid and out comes many flies. Large flies, extra large flies, medium flies, small flies and extra small flies. I see maggots in varying stages of their life...little tiny ones to fat ones. OMGulay! Maggots and flies colonizing in my garbage can. long story short..I actually took the contents of the garbage can and rebagged them to fit in three large trashbags. SCRUB AWAY! Poured that clorox, scrubbed the grossness out of that can and rinsed it away. Repeated the process I don't know how many times...but that was nasty!

I conquered the flies and maggots! Now the trash can is clean after all that scrubbing! =)
