The laundry room battle

I sometimes think my marriage and life with my dear hubby could be a comedy show.

We always seem to find ourselves in silly scrapes, somehow mainly with our house.

This past Thursday afternoon, I came home, did some housework, changed into gym clothes and settled down to fold some laundry and watch old reruns The Hills. I started a load of laundry and accidentally left the laundry soap on the washer. No biggie. I was looking forward to a nice afternoon.



As the washer started to do the spin cycle, it shook so much it knocked off the laundry soap. No biggie, its done it before.



5 minutes later I go back to pick it up and something beyond horrible happened.



LAUNDRY SOAP EVERYWHERE.



AND I MEAN EVERYWHERE!




And basically, this was me:







I FREAKED the hell out. I loathe cleaning huge messes (I know, how will I be when I am a mom???) and I called my hub for help (he was at swim practice). It was literally covering every inch of the floor and went well under our water heater.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....


Obviously my hub couldn't come right away, and I was on my own. I put on my big girl panties, stopped freaking out and started to clean. It took forever. I got a good chunk of it done by the time hubby came , but we ran out of towels. Shannon came in and just laughed. I was so grateful for that because our plans were ruined for the evening. However, it did get kind of better since we skipped the gym, had chipotle, bought more cleaning supplies and more flowers to plant for later.

After coming back, we went to work cleaning everything. It worked out since we were our laundry room was a mess anyway. In the end, we laughed it off, as really, its not that big of a deal.

We now have a sparkly, clean laundry room. Good things can come from crazy disasters!!!!
