My life is filled with problems that never seem to get solved---no matter how hard I try. For example, take my ketchup bottle problem. No matter how hard I try, we always end up with multiple open ketchup bottles in the refridgerator. At the height of this problem, we had 4 (four) open ketchup bottles at various stages of used-upness in the refridgerator.
This takes up valuable space for other things that need refridgeration---like all the left-overs I want the kids to eat during the week. (But probably won't, even if it's smothered in ketchup....)
I think the real issue at hand is the amount of work it takes to move a few things around in the refridgerator to see if there is an open bottle of ketchup ready for use. NOOOOOO---that is too much work for all the little nibble fingers here! It is sooooo much easier to take a cursory glance around the perimeter of the fridge and, when ketchup is not in plain sight, within easy grasp, run five steps over to the pantry and grab a BRAND NEW bottle of ketchup, open it, and use 1/92nd of it. Then shove it in the refridgerator (in front of used ketchup bottle #1.)
