Disaster Strikes!

so this evening when i came home miriam was not there. dont worry she just ran to the grocery store.

but when she did get home she had a horrible headache and asked me to put away the groceries.

i proceeded to do so and thats when things went bad.

before i go further let me set the scene. we like arizona tea. and we buy several when they are on sale. so we store the extras on top of the fridge.

so when i opened the freezer door this happened:



this is what a jug of tea loots like after it falls off the top of the fridge a EXPLODES all over me and the kitchen.

im not sure that i can adequately describe what all over the kitchen means.

i mean everywhere, in the fridge, on the cabinets, drawers, dishwasher, oven, not to mention the new lake in the middle of the floor.

so 4 towels and mopping, vacuuming, and washing the floor by hand, which my loving wife did, the kitchen is back to normal sans 1 gallon of tea.

i think the reason my wife so lovingly cleaned the mess up is that unknown to me at the time she had moved the tea earlier to get her cookbook placing the jug precariously half on the fridge and half on the freezer door.

i dont blame her it was an accident.

its funny know and im sure you are enjoying reading it so overall a positive story.

Wow. I hate messes. This turned my stomach. Glad it worked out okay. And thank you for praising your wife. More men need to do that openly.
