Kitchen Clean Up

Kitchen Clean Up:  Ironically, as our schools have closed out Home Ec. the reality of the high cost of food hits home.  It is like throwing a child (us) in the water to teach swimming..  The only way young women will be able to meet these situations is to look at the thing by placing their anger into a positive place. The stats show that as women are thrown into the work force, suicide increases. No wonder. With the heaviness of job, child care, home management and  no training at all upon, who wouldn't get depressed.  Even our troups receive training, but not the most important person in a civilization, the mother. There was a time home economics was called Domestic Science, which by far is a better word even it it still doesn't totally describe what has to be done by women. As you go along it will be discovered; the more you cook the more cleaning must be done. However if you use your head and not so much your back this can become an easy chore.  For the doors on kitchen cabinets I keep a special small broom hidden and apart from the household cleaning tools. On the end of this I wrap a soft towel over the head and secure it on the handle with a heavy rubber band. On one side of the towel I spray my favorite cleaning, wax and polish. I like the ones with orange.  Rub the cabinet doors down easily with the polish on the towel.  When you turn your broom over you will be surprised to see the cooking grime that has come off. Le the doot dry a bit and then turn the broom over to polish them with the clean side of the towel. Presto! In just a short few minutes there will be lovely, polished cabinet doors. The children used to love how I joked about Mama and her witches broom, but, the broom is a handy tool and not just for the floor, you can use it on the bathtub, the window screens, windows, dust in high places.Remember that men often work on a job just to support a ranch, farm, or another business.  Let that be our motto.  We as women have a first job and that is of our own interests, our family, our homes and our husbands.
